Had not run defroster yet, so a little hazy. Cobra 840. Car is fine!
I sometimes consider doing that, but then I have to worry about remembering to take it out of gear before starting the engine.I try to double-protect myself while parked with handbrake plus 1st gear engaged just to be on the safe side.

I always check anyway, but the day I start doing things differently is bound to be the day I forget!
Don't you have to put in the clutch before it will even crank? My manual trans vehicles won't do anything if you turn the key to start unless you have the clutch fully depressed.I sometimes consider doing that, but then I have to worry about remembering to take it out of gear before starting the engine.

Not if it's in neutral.Don't you have to put in the clutch before it will even crank?
Then it'll probably start moving if you crank it in gear. That's what I had to do when the clutch hydraulics went out on my Miata, and once I got moving, tried to avoid stopping at all costs... Shifting in motion without the clutch is easy thanks to synchros, but starting from a stop without a clutch.... Not so much.Not if it's in neutral.
If it's in gear - I don't know. I wasn't given the handbook and it's not the kind of thing I'm going to test.

also had a foot rest on the extreme left that looked like an additional pedal. He claimed that almost all the valets at the site refused to drive it.
