Now that we have established you can drive a stickshift model, can you drive it without using the clutch?
My wife was driving the Prelude a couple of weeks ago, when the hydraulic fluid leaked out at the house, and she couldn't drive it. I told her how to do it, but she still couldn't get it out of the driveway.
So I came home, traded cars, put the car in reverse, cranked it over with the key until it started, turned it off in the street, restarted in first gear, shifted without the clutch, and drove it over to the shop. Fun exercise. Wouldn't do it on a new Corvette, though, it can be a little hard on the synchros in the transmission if you aren't real smooth.
