Unable to Drive Manual

[colt]

Two weeks ago I ruptured my left achilles tendon, while playing soccer. Found out yesterday, I will probably need surgery. Do you think I could operate the clutch with a cane, or a crutch ? Anyway... Looks like my car will be chilling in the garage for a couple months

that sucks I dont know what I would do if I couldn't drive the rex, but I you got really good you could shift without even using the clutch even though it is not recomended, but to shift with a crutch I think would be very dificult

+ 1 sucks man! hope you heal Fast !

Ouch man, sorry to hear! Do you have a back up ride? At least your WRX will be sittin' pretty in the garage and not out accumulating miles (higher resale value )

Hire a midget to run the pedals for you.

Thanks for the encouragment. My wife has been driving me around in her Corolla. I wish I finished teaching her how to drive a manual. Now, we are stuck sharing one car. I am planning on turning my WRX on once a week to keep the liquids from settling too much.

One weird thing I noticed was my coolant reservor was empty. Must have come low from the dealer when I bought it. It's been hot in Texas the past few months, but I have never heard of a car running out of coolant that fast. I hope I don't have a leak.

Oh man does that suck. Hope you have a speedy recovery. Maybe you can just use your right foot.
Could always have the wife finish learning how to drive 5speed.

My wrx seemed to go through coolant quicker than other cars I've had. Probably normal. Just keep an eye on it.

Are you sure? I thought so, too, but the coolant tank doesn't "appear" full. Use the measuring stick in it to see if it's empty or not.

I thought mine was empty but it really wasn't.

I will check the coolant with a measuring stick. I am pretty sure there is still coolant left in the car, its just really low. Which I thought was strange.

Sorry to hear you can't drive your car...

[blarg]

you need a helper monkey.

[firetresses]

that really sucks i hope you make a quick recovery too.

I have weak ankles (both of them which sucks a$$) and i tend to roll my ankles pretty easy. now i've never needed surgery, thankfully, but the first time )before i discovered they were weak) that i hurt one of them really bad, i needed like months and months of therapy. and i've ALWAYS had a stick car. i was stuck driving my ex's car around that was an auto. i tried driving my car, but just even putting a LITTLE bit of pressure on it hurt like a b*tch.

so i feel your pain.
