Before you call a tow truck.....
Hello everyone! Just wanted to share my nerve wrecking experience with you this morning! I have an '07 hatchback with manual tranny. Yesterday I tried starting my car but it wouldn't start! So I gave it a little push and managed to jump start it. This morning I had the same problem! I once again managed to jump start it. As I was stuck in bumper to bumper traffic on my way to work, I released the clutch a little too soon and stalled....then I couldn't start her up again!! I was stuck there for 20 minutes trying to start the car to no avail! I was just about to give up when out of complete frustration I slammed down the clutch pedal and turned the key....and the car started.....
Moral to this story....before you call a tow truck...make sure the bloody winter floor mat isn't obstructing the clutch pedal!!!! I feel like such a doosh!! |
