Re: One problem with driving an HCH ...
That is totally true. I had to switch vehicle's with my dad a few weeks ago (he was out of town, and his truck needed inspected) and it was really strange. The first weird thing was the phantom clutch. I've always done that. It is sort of like walking up stairs and then taking an extra step even though there isn't one there. Then when I turned the key it didn't start right away. I'm so used to that instant start that I forgot what it was like to get one of these primitative 100% ICE vehicles on. It was so loud, too, and it didn't turn off when I came to stops. I really don't understand this "ancient technology" that early man used for transportation. The worst thing of all, I think, was not knowing what my mileage was. It was like 40 miles of pure torture for me.
The funny thing is that when I met up with my dad a few days later he said he was confused as hell. He kept thinking that the car was stalling out on him at stops and he wasn't sure if he started (he is hard of hearing).
