Selectably automated clutch

It is a device that will operate your clutch for you but does not prevent you from doing the job if you want. Perfect for traffic backup! There's no excitement or sense of accomplishment from inching forward in a traffic jam no matter what transmission, might as well not be bothered...

Whatever may be the reason, the number of proficient female drivers is very small.

I just met a female Viggen fiend. Viggens are stick only. And she wouldnt have it any other way. Actually, nearly every Saaber of the vagina-possessing variety only drives a manual.

I'll have to agree with Watkins on this one. I've only seen one ugly woman drive a Saab. She lives on my street and it's an automatic as well.

I have no idea what to think of this. This just seems confusing.
On second thought, not so much. Just seems worded funny. Might be the fact I'm extremely exhaust at the moment.

I saw this dealy thing on a clean, heavily modified RSX from a Japanese tuner in Super Street a while back once. It was installed and presented much better than it is here. Very, very well done.
