Automatic vs Manual for Late Model Corolla

And he never specified! lol

But officer.... this is one of those new flavored coffees....

Yeah, I can make it feel that way too if I try. I try to do it especially when my 18 year old son is in the car to give him something to shoot for.

My first attempt at driving a stick was a 'here take this van to go get the part" when I was working a gas station when I was 17. It was one of those Ford sit over the front wheel ones. I had to look like I knew what I was doing as it was the boss' van. I let out that clutch so slowly it took forever for me to move. I did it tho.

I was told (and it has stuck with me and I have pass it on) early on to leave that left foot on the floor, _away_ from the clutch pedal, when I am not using it. Keep it no where near so there is no accidental slippage. Tomes

--------- Seriously dude..you sound gay...either that or you're very immature..

With me it was a Subaru and drip candles for an Italian dinner when I was working at my school in the summertime. Damn, the smallest little hill threw me! (there was a line of about 12 cars behind me, and boy, were they MAD!!!!)

Yup. Same advice I was given...

Huh?

LOL indeed.

I prefer to drive stick myself. I don't know how much to replace clutch. But given it's about $1000 more for auto & less gas milage, that would provide, at least, enough money to replace clutch at least once or twice when the time comes.

However, if you drive the car properly, you won't be replacing the clutch. And, automatic transmissions are expensive to replace.

Thinking about you today while listening to y-rock...

Then it started getting 'artsy', so I fired up LiquidCompass and listened to Alice from Boulder Colo.

Man, I love streaming!

"Hachiroku ????" ...

It is nice to be thought of, cool. Right now they are doing a chunk of time on live songs that were done in their studio on the air back when they were a regular radio station. Just played a song from the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - nice. Gotta check out LiquidCompass, thanks. Tomes

"Tomes" ...

OK H, what exactly do you like on this LiquidCompass? I poked around on all the likely suspect channels and was somewhat disappointed. One turned out to be the dreaded Jack format. Another prospect turned out to be a Lite format. They are not really what they are advertised on the list as. What do you go for there? Tomes
