Sorry man I don't know those two. But yeah city life isn't for me either. Vermont is awesome if you're an outdoors person like I am. There is not a whole lot to do as far as entertainment and what not but wheelin, hiking, partys around a bon fire, just being outdoors, Vermont is awesome for that.

It wasn't that bad, you act like I did something unforgivable.

And im easy on the clutch I didn't really ride the clutch at all im pretty good about it. Plus I know a lot of people here at school that go wheelin and they all have manuals. 2 yotas, 2 jeeps, a older chevy 1500, all manuals and we go wheelin all the time. As long as you know what you're doing its not too bad on the clutch.

yeah if you don't do it right and are always riding the clutch, sure of course its no good. But I don't ride the clutch and try keeping momentum so I don't have to keep pressing in the clutch. Almost all jeeps are manuals and those are meant to be taken off road. Along with all the kids up here who take there toyota pickups that are manuals. Theres nothing wrong with it.
