This wouldn't work in Chicago, where the last story was set. Too
flat.
With EFI, it doesn't take much of a slope. My ranger rolls about 3
feet down my driveway (slopes about a foot in 12) - I pop the clutch
and it's running - virtually every time.

That's very good to know, but it still doesn't apply to 90% of
Chicago, including every place I went. ;-)




Well not too many vehicles left with manual transmissions.

That's true too. I own automatics, but when I rent, I rent sticks
because they're cheaper.
Not around here. Virtually all rentals are automatic - if anything you
would pay more for a "stick" because it would be a specialty
performance vehicle here.
You must be in Britain or samewhere like that.
