I'll teach ya...and you can slip the clutch all you want cause I'm selling it.

Funken please practice with ski boots on also seeing as how that will be a MUST once the season finally is in full swing

Its all about the driving slipper my friend. Atleast Funken's asking now. He was trying to use my truck w/o telling me when we went to Utah.

In that case take it up to about 3500 rpm, with the clutch pushed to the floor......just slip your foot quickly to the left and let the clutch pedal fly up........and oh yeah, hold on.

Heh, reminds me of that Honda ad w/ Michael Andretti, "Just rev it up to 9000 and drop the clutch"

I have a subaru with a manual transmission, but the weird thing is that I cannot start it with my ski boots on, something about not being able to get the clutch in far enough so the starter will engage. I definitely agree that learning at 11pm tommorow night would be far superior to tommorow morning, the grinding clutch noise is so much less intruisive to car owner if he is cloaked in 10 beers.

So who all is meeting at the parking ride at 9am?

me
dude
crinkle
funken
board

anyone else?

Have fun tomorrow, sounds like a good time kids, enjoy the partay!

Funken, After you warm up your shifting technique on someones car saturday night and want further instruction, I've got a manual tranny car here in the peoples republic.

**SherpaStyle** · 12-05-2003, 05:32 PM

I'll be there

Funken- do you want me to bring my car? Otherwise, im driving an auto.

**funkendrenchman** · 12-05-2003, 05:50 PM

Thanks for all the offers. I'll let ya know if I need some more practice.

Bring your manual.

I promise I'll be nice to it.

**Billow** · 12-06-2003, 05:39 PM

MD9 do you need any furniture? I have two retro mango lounge chairs I will not be keeping after I abandon ship.

Anyone need any computer speakers? I have a cheap pair of small Polk audio and a low end Altec Lansing sub/satellite combo. Free party favors?

**Billow** · 12-06-2003, 05:47 PM

Tecnica TC3 8 ½ good boot if anyone is looking to hook up a friend to the world skiing on the cheep errrr that would be free.

**meatdrink9** · 12-06-2003, 06:18 PM

Holy shit we have a TON of food.

The projector isn't going to work with the computer, but I'm sure it'll work with the TV.

T-minus 2 hours.

**Tyrone Shoelaces** · 12-06-2003, 06:48 PM

We need some live "crackhouse spectacular" web cam feeds set up.

**meatdrink9** · 12-06-2003, 07:40 PM

**Geronimo** · 12-06-2003, 08:24 PM

Well, I hope the party went off. I was really looking forward to meeting all the colorado maggots....

... and then my cell phone apparently fell out of my car at the ranch my horse is boarded at. I had to stop to medicate him at 5 am before heading up to the Basin on Saturday, and I guess it fell out.

Then, later that day, it got run over by a tractor.

I didn't realize it was gone until I was going to call Powderfarmer after sweep to hitch a ride to Denver, and I could not find the damn thing anywhere, And that is the only place I had his number. aaaack!

Then last night I stopped back out at the ranch and the owner told me it had been run over by a tractor and was found laying by the haypile in a million pieces. So, um, I guess I need a new phone. I'll be going to search for the "best cell phone service" thread now.
