If your leg went numb holding down a Yaris clutch then heaven help you if you ever drive a hi-po manual V8 in grid-lock. You'd wish for numb.

1. It was only my foot, not my leg. Actually, only part of my foot. The ball of my foot.
2. I wouldn't be driving a V8 to begin with, let alone a manual V8. At best, a V6 is what I'd ever own.
3. Thanks for your input though!

(P.S. It's mostly a matter of how I have my foot positioned on the clutch more than the clutch itself).
