Tell me about the worst manual transmission (MT) driver you've ever seen.
This weekend I drove with someone that just got a new Mazda 6. He said he'd driven a MT before and preferred it, but after watching him drive, I wonder...
He was alright out of first gear, but 2 - 5, he would hold the clutch in while he sped the car up for a not-insignificant amount of time. I would say he left the clutch at least partially in WHILE he was accelerating for 3 - 4 seconds before he finally took his foot completely off. Amazing. The car had < 2k miles on it, and he'll be lucky if that clutch lasts to 30k miles. Sad.
So who was the worst MT driver you've ever seen?
