[s-cars] The Slippery Slope

[Joe Pizzimenti]

Considering Paul stalled the car every 3 seconds, I'm glad I put it in
before he touched the car.

It's still there, no problems.

Probably overkill, but I wanted a nice clutch that didn't kill your
left leg.  The twin plates spread out the clamping force so it isn't
as harsh as a single plate.
