When my manual Scat Pack got delivered yesterday the young guy driving the car hauler sheepishly admitted he "wasn't very good with sticks".
It made me cringe a bit when he got in the car to back it off the trailer. He stalled it right after firing it up, then managed to get it off the rig after firing it back up. I took it from there.
I wondered if he loaded it on the trailer earlier that day, or if a colleague at his dealership group who was more skilled with manuals did that chore. If he drove it up that inclined trailer the car probably suffered the equivalent to about 10,000 miles of clutch wear!
