Where's the Clutch?
This morning I took possession of our brand new 2006 Ford Fusion. The lease was almost up on our Focus and Ford offered us a really good deal to start our new lease a little bit early. For the past 6 years I've been driving a standard and the Fusion is an automatic. Needless to say, it is taking some getting used to.
On my way to work this morning, as I was getting off the expressway, I pressed my left foot down on the clutch (which, SURPRISE, wasn't there). I had to kind of laugh at myself. Then, not even a minute later, as I was still chuckling, I did it again!
I did a little better on the way home. In fact, I thought I had the problem licked. Then, out of nowhere, as I was approaching a stop light, I tried to step on the clutch again. I think I did this about 3 times in a matter of a couple of minutes.
Old habits are hard to break.
