And by jump started, I mean literally jump and say "What the fu...how, I don't even...", but not necessarily in that order. I was on the book of faces today, and !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! posted this little gem from !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

Apparently, the individual driving this vehicle didn't know elbows from assholes on how to drive a clutch, and just drove it every where in third gear. High revving and letting it out slowly, according to the mechanic, is what she was doing. Oh, and that clutch that is absolutely shredded, is only a year old. Don't forget though if we didn't have people like these, mechanics would be out of the job. And we wouldn't have funny memes, there are a few already popping up over this. Anywho, have a great day Oppo!

She must be the lady that makes cotton candy at the fair.

She certainly has the talent for it.
My question though is how did she handle reverse?

I spend every lunch hour looking at "what rolled into the shop" and am consistently surprised by the idiocy of some people out there, and what condition the cars next to me on the freeway could be in

Yeah, I've been around cars and shops my whole life, and I still on average say "Holy shit" at least once a week to how screwed up someones car is. It's like, I don't know what I am more amazed at, the fact that the car is still running or they are willing to drive it. I really wonder if people were more well informed about the repercussions of screwing cars up so bad, if they would run them into the ground digging to reach China.
And I love what rolled into the shop, I try to avoid it though or I will spend all freaking day there.

Surprisingly I can get my 86 Honda Accord off line in 3rd gear, granted it will take me like a minute to get up to speed, but I can do it damnit! Friction discs be damned!

I have just learned this from missing first. Man, I am not going to say I am the best standard driver ever, but hopefully my clutch is in better shape than this. I have put 87,000 kms on it myself, so I think the fact that it has lasted this long is at least a bit better than this hahaha.

It must be mating season. You only see those colours in mating season.

Just press the clutch in and slowly roll backwards.
