    That’s ok. That’s a typical response I expected from someone so soft. I’ll leave now

    Oh I didn't know you were Amish. My apologies. The Amish are darn good workers and grow the best vegetables. I wave to every horse and buggy I see!

    It's called multitasking for a reason. What's your other hand doing? And if the cruise is set, both knees should be free for steering...

    I don’t think there has been an engine invented that you HAVE to double clutch. I can float gears just fine, but double clutching will destroy my cherublike demeanor. All the same, that hurt shoulder/sore knee idea is all BS. Unless your coordination sucks awful.
     
    Oxbow and Diesel Dave Thank this.
