OMG! I remember when we first bought the car and had to bring it home. We came in my dad's car and since the 240 was my new car, I was being stubborn and I wanted to drive it home. haha, it was fun. I ended up either stalling out or spinning the tires at every light, haha.

man stuff like that freaked me out, i dont want to pull up to a red light with traffic behind me, and suddenly stall or start doing the *bronco dance* haha, but my dads friend has a stick, so he may let me burrow it for a week or so, to get familiar with it

im doing the lil prep thign on learning how to drive a stick like you too, my uncle is giving me his rx7 and being shipped here within a couple months, 1 question, when your stopping from lets say 50 mph at a red light, do you just shift to neutral while your braking, or you gotta shift it down to 2 when it hits like 30's then turn it to neutral once you are down to like 5 mph

bah, someone in the chicagovelocity.com forums said riding clutch meant using it for reasons other than shifting gears, any other stuff such as holding on the clutch on a light to quickly shift to first and holding it while running over a speed bump is riding a clutch
