I'm having trouble envisioning how one does that when they're already moving at 60mph. Can you enlighten me?
well thats what my friend said..i dont know if he is right.. well what she told me was she had it in 5th gear 60 mph..then when she tried to put it in neutral when she hit the brake she put it into second...so yea... idk if popped the clutch was a good term or not.. anyways it cost like i belive 16 k to fix..but the car is worth 40 k..i really tought it was totaled i guess not...
