You know that manual is dying when...
I have dropped my manual car at Subaru dealer for some service. Took a loaner. In few minutes they are calling back to me:
Subaru service: Do you have problem with a battery? Me: no , why? Subaru service: we can not start your car. Me: I have put new battery 10 months back and have no issue starting my car. Dealer: are you sure? Me: yes I am. Subaru service: Ok, let us check it. It was my wife legacy. They did not call back. When I was picking up I asked: Have you found clutch pedal? Dealer: yes. Soon it will be like anti-thief device. This is actually was second time they did this. |

Do you have rubber floor mats? When I worked for AAA, a lot of people claimed their cars wouldn't start, but it was because their floor mats were blocking the clutch switch

Gonna watch who posts derogatory remarks here and see if at least one of them didn't post "New to MT any tips?" within the last couple of years on here.

I had a similar goober moment when my wife bought her automatic RAV4 in 2013. I'd driven manual Japanese and Italian sport coupes all my life. Autos always threw me into momentary confusion when starting and stopping. You know how that goes. Anyway we finish up with financing and hop into the new car. I'm driving for whatever reason. I push the start button and nothing happens. We look at each other not knowing what to do. So I open the door and ask the sales guy what I'm doing wrong. Gotta depress the brake to do the push-button. Felt like an idiot. Felt like I had no business buying a new car.
