I used to get those darn things. They do hurt like hell. I finally opted for the acid treatment. That stopped it forever.

What's this thread about?

I think an auto would be faster than a 6 speed if the driver had an ingrown toenail. That would make the whole clutch thing difficult.

My uncle cut his toe off playing ice hockey. He had to drive an automatic for awhile in '88. But he was faster than ever by doubleclutching that 800R4. I raced him in my new Z06 and won.
