Jump on it?

Yeah he doesnt grasp that a car can be in need of work when buying it. Or more so he doesnt want me doing the work.

SO annoying.

It's possible to modify a manual to use without a clutch, runs into a lot of money though. My buddy lost his leg in a IED detonation in Iraq, he rigged his sti up with a paddel shifter. I don't see that being an option though.

You're parents are doing it wrong. You should always start out driving stick. You learn more about the car.

Yeah I have invented several ways to make it so I dont need to touch the clutch pedal. All require more though.

The most straightforward way is swap pedals around

i tried Driving with 1 leg today...its not that hard...takes a bit longer

[5Toes]

Seriously?

I would be using two legs.

This is going to be your first car 5toes? Right. Suck it up man. My first car was a hyundai. Your first car is suppose to be a junker, ya know?

Here's your plan. Get an auto 2-door e30. Think of it as a placeholder. You can start learning how to work on it, and when you buy a part, install it. Then, some day when you want something better or a 5-speed, you'll know everything there is to know, and you can swap the parts over.

[5Toes]

Yup I hear you loud and clear George.

Well heres the new plan for me.

Find an auto E30 or E28. Buy and drive the fucker.

[george graves]

e28 are built like a tank - I'd feel really safe getting t-boned in one. They aren't as easy as e30's are to work on as far as the suspension goes. As a young guy I would have never wanted to be saddled with a large car like a 5'er.

[5Toes]

E28s arent that big though.

And they are about as similar as it gets to e30s
