meagain funny thing is I have always had used cars. All but one was a stick, and on all the standards I would always replace the clutch within the 1st month and never have to replace it again. The only one I didn't replace the clutch, I knew the owner had done that two months before I bought it from him.

    Shit, they haven't had brownie box set up since what the '60's?

    The last car with a stick that I owned was a Chevy Nova (The one that Chevy and Toyota built in California). It was just a Corolla with a Chevy interior and a slightly more rounded off body. It was a great little car though. I bought it to drive back and forth to work (about 75 miles per day). 40+ mpg and the drivers seat was as comfortable as anything I've had. I liked it so well that I bought another one for my wife. Mine was red and hers was silver.

    Par4QC Looks like a full time job just getting to the jobsite. Felt kinda of bad for Sam the blue heeler too. He looked like he could really use some air conditioning.

      meagain I don't think I've done that in over 30 years. I'd probably hurt myself now. The only pushing I do is my golf cart and if I did jump, I'm certain something would pop that shouldn't.

        Funny story related to this. There's a town (wide spot in the road) in southern Indiana who's name is the same as my last name (details withheld to protect the innocent) and a big road sign with an arrow pointing towards the turnoff for it.
        During my college days I decided that sign would be a great addition to my dorm room. So me and a couple of friends went down there in the dead of night, parked on the side of the road (state highway), put on the hazards, and starting working. It took us longer than expected to get the sign and we had all kinds of good samaritans stop and ask if we needed help... "no ma'am we have someone coming". We finally get the sign in the back of my friend's truck, he turns the ignition, and click click click. It's dead as a doornail. Now nobody's coming or stopping and this was well before cellphones and we're in BFE anyway. So we start pushing while my other friend tries to start it by popping the clutch. It seemed like we pushed that SOB a mile before it finally started. But the sign did look good in the room.

          meagain been there done that. Shit a buddy of mine has a '58 3/4 ton pick up, that had starter issues after driving for a few hours. Many times I have pushed that thing only for him to pop the clutch and not have the key on... Then I made him push, and I would keep the key on and pop the clutch, drive around the parking lot and then come back to him...
