shl468 · 03-11-2013, 06:58 PM

I played 3 hour of basketball and was driving back to my house and "pop" my left thigh had bad cramp!! if it was auto I can manage it, but my car is manual!! I can't press the DAM CLUTCH!! so I put my car in street and waited like 1 hour(massaging my thigh) I still couldn't DRIVE!! I barely made it to my house.
does anyone experience similar incident? how did you manage?
I told my friend and they were laughing like crazy!! BUT IT IS NOT FUNNY LOL.

Yes, and I would rev-match the shifts (FWD 4cyl cars). Only needed the clutch to start the car and from stop to first. I feel for ya.

I cramped my calf stepping on the clutch after a long run one time. I was out of commission for a couple days after that.

If you have been driving your car long enough you will get a feel of where to gently push the stick into the gear you want. Keep the RPM's down and smooth. Use e-brake and right foot or get take a bus!

Sounds like you need some electrolytes. Sodium and fluids.

lol come do a LEG day with me at the gym and you might throw up on the dash on your ride home.

shl468 · 03-11-2013, 09:09 PM

ye I felt like a loser..it hurts so bad though. for second I thought of trading my car for auto so I wont be in that situation again

Magic Bus · 03-11-2013, 09:25 PM

Yep, know how you feel. In my younger days used to play a lot of Bball and only drove sticks. What a b___h when you twist or sprain an ankle, had to borrow parents car on several occasions......how pathetic

enkei2k · 03-11-2013, 09:59 PM

meh, I played a few hours of basketball, football and some good old fashion NYC handball all day yesterday and drove home fine.

I think you're just out of shape

but it's OK, we forgive you
