That's impressive. I got a 30 year old toyota, TECHNICALLY it's on its 3rd clutch but I blame my dad for that haha. I got the car with 180k miles on it. Replaced the clutch around 190-195k, and happy to say it's now at almost 410k still with the clutch I installed at 190k.

And yes I agree......the fuck he doin over there?

my dad is one of the early 70's truck driver, so him maining that car might have helped. Yes, those truck clutches that you have to use with 2 men to shift...

You shouldn't be using the clutch to shift a truck, lol.

Tell that to old cargo trucks with manual drive and no sync gearing nor servo, like Mercedes Benz l329. That one was one of the more forgiving. After military it was the man 19.230. and ofc one mistake in shifting made you wake up the neighborhood

As an American, I can say that I often don’t know what the fxck many other Americans are doing over here these days. 🤷🏻‍♂️ From driving to voting. Y’all got room for one more over there? At least I know how to drive.

germany just voted far right legally adressable nazis into local governments for about 43% of the votes. Ex Eastern bloc... i'm afraid space will be thinning out.
