Yeah, I suppose a HD clutch needed for towing would weed out those that don’t do “leg day” in the gym.

Without any irony at all, out of all the things I did today making this GIF is what I am most proud of.

“but it may well be the first mass-produced non-military convertible pickup truck to be sold in America ever.”

I like the cut of this man’s jib.

I have numerous co-workers who overland. However, despite that, I don’t really know what it entails.

Rally courses? WTF?

NEMESIS!!!!!

I think you’ve actually stumbled onto a different truth here.  Autocross (at least aggressive driving) is probably the easiest way to learn stick, because for a beginner it’s all about just finding the right gear.  There’s no finessing the clutch or trying to shift smoothly, it’s just jam the clutch pedal, throw it…

Nothing like learning how with someone else’s Clutch.

Technically, it is a 4-door.  ;-)
