Old man pisses me off and solara has a fit over it
Story:
So today after work I go to the grocery store to pick up some beer so I could have something good to drink while I watch the Bengals game I had to miss yesterday. Well Im trying to turn left out the exit during rush hour on to a very busy street. It was just one of those days that there was just constant traffic and I couldnt make the turn. So old dude behind me is getting impatient and starts honking. Im getting pissed at him now. So im thinking if he honks again im gonna get out and yell at him to back the f@ck up. Well he honks again and instead I just causually open the sun roof and give him the birdy. Old man just starts shaking his fist. I thought is was funny and laughed. Well then I finally get a little break in the traffic and I lit em up out of the exit. (my way of say haha f@ck you old dude you have to wait your turn now)
Question:
Well when I lit em up I didnt dump the clutch but I let it out fast and dropped the gas to the floor. My tires spun and I smelled burnt rubber. All thats fine, but I noticed when I was shifting that my clutch pedal seemed a little light. So now im wondering if i really smelled the clutch. To me burning rubber and a clutch burning smell almost identical. Do you guys think my clutch could be on it way out in the near future? Ive notice other times before when Ive done this that the clutch pedal gets light but then like 5mins later its goes back to normal. The cars got 82k on it. If so how much does a clutch normaly cost to replace. I know my camaro was a grand, but for some reason I think I read on hear before thats it cheaper than that. I dont mess with transmissions, not my area.
Moral: Next time Old dude pisses me off Im just gonna sit there a little longer.
