I turn the key and nothing happens just as described. It took me a while to determine what the problem was .. and like you I was thinking something was wrong with the car.

So I just have to be careful and make sure I am depressing the clutch "all the way" and the car starts just fine.

so are u suggesting to check the floor mats and turn off the safety switch?
im not sure if i have the winter floor mats like u. i think i have the carpeted all season ones. ill be sure to check it tomorrow morning :)
