Have to learn to drive around car issues. What do you think we did back in the '70's. You adapted your driving style to the car. Not the other way around. Millennial's now adays. If it ain't perfect, go to their safe places.

You should have grown up during the muscle car years. The pedal pressure was a lot harder. Throw in a street/strip clutch set-up in. The pressure was so great in some. You had to beef up the linkage or it would break or bend it. There was no hydraulics's as now. With a heavy street/strip clutch. When you came to a red light. You had to throw the tranny into neutral, and take your foot off of the clutch pedal. Otherwise your leg would get tired of holding the pedal down. Side steppin' the clutch pedal took on a new meaning. Because when you did it. The whole dash would jump up in the air.

Push the clutch in, and your leg would start to shake.
