Today, my car hit a wall of traffic — there was a five car pile-up that spread across two of the three lanes of highway 880. I saw it on the news, but assumed it would be cleared up by the time I got there. I was wrong.
I thought that this would be a nightmare for me, since the clutch on this car is extremely heavy and going slow is something this car doesn’t like to do. I was wrong, it was actually OK. Sure, the clutch remained hard, but I discovered that once in gear, this car can purr along at 5MPH with no difficulty and no stalling (thanks to the replacement of all those O2 parts). It also doesn’t jerk around like my Honda — I don’t have to ride the clutch!
Work was full of interruptions; it’s no wonder that I get half as much done there. I sure hope I can do more (uninterrupted) work tomorrow.
