can anyone chime in here and clarify this once and for all?
Do you smell that burn? Ya, it's clutch from starting out in second.

Well, yeah, it is. But at least the kid was sharp enough to ask for more opinions, so we owe it to him to set him on the right path. At least he has a 5 speed, so there is hope for him...

I couldnt take stupid automatics anymore- my friends all said that I was crazy but the longer I've been driving it the more I like it. I think serious wheeling might be kind of tough at first - crawling without burning the clutch into nothingness -----I have to tell my friend though he has been driving around w/o first since he got his license!
I always heard that clunking sound when he would start in 2nd with the revs under 1000 and I was like 'you know tim are you sure you shouldnt use first' and he was like 'yeah man, trust me'
