Thanks to a select few of you for your help on the question asked. I have been a member of many online communities for Bmw's, Mercedes, Nissan/Datsun's and even Ford's and have never encountered such responses, insulting my parenting skills, insulting my intelligence, Jesus tap dancing Christ on crutches I am told? This sounds like BS one of you brain surgeons replied. The world is a big and complex place. Sometimes people prefer things that are slightly different than just the mainstream idea. It is called personal choice and personal freedom.
To address certain issues, the clutch slave cylinder is repaired. It took me almost no time at all from a few time saving tricks I learned from my early Datsun Z cars.
Secondly, I own another vehicle which is a stick shift, I just wanted him to get thru the first 6 or so months with an auto Trans so he would learn basic driving skills first, then a manual to come later.
Lastly a young boy in a sporty car that is fairly quick will push the car harder than a slower car, I know I did when I got my 914 as my first car. I picked up 2 of my friends that really did not fit and we went jumping this old bridge in town Dukes of Hazzard style. I know what young men are capable of, I used to be one.
Thanks to a few mature people here on the board, I appreciate your time. The rest of you should have been taught some basic respect towards others. People with differing opinions are not necessarily wrong, just different than your own. Learn to walk in another mans shoes before insulting him.
