[DeTomaso] Hagerty's Driving Experience at Ruby’s Diner in Redondo Beach

Wed Oct 19 15:00:13 EDT 2011

That was how it was when I tried to teach my wife to drive my vet. That is 
also the reason we didn't buy a new Pantera in 71 from Mayberry LM. We would 
have had a new one if they came with automatic transmissions. She never 
learned to drive a stick until I got a Chevet.

OK, there girly, now slowly release the clutch.......Jump three feet,
scream, car dies.

Let's try again,  slowly release the clutch.......Jump three feet, scream,
car dies.

No worries - start it up, PRESS THE CLUTCH IN FIRST -  NOW, NOW
releas.....Jump three feet, scream, car dies.

One More Time

The rabbit goes into the hole, now, slowly open the door and let the rabbit
out and release  the clutch.......Jump three feet, scream, car dies.

GET OUT, JUST GET OUT, NOW, GET OUT.
