Sedans only have the small armrest pass through, so no crawling through. I tried unsuccessfully to roll the car down the driveway and pop the clutch--nope.

The sedan trunk isn't that big.... unless you have the jumper cables under the mat, couldn't you just fish it out through the ski pass?

There's a glow-in-the-dark release handle that you can hook onto from the pass-thru. It's at arm's length, though, so it's pretty awkward to hook and pull down. However, there's very little tension necessary to pull down and unlatch the trunk.

I think if you experiment a little, you'll figure it out.

Pretty easy to pop the clutch in this car, although easier to do in 2nd gear than 1st. But for it to work, you have to have the ignition engaged so the whole dash is ready, not just the radio. In other words, if the battery is dead, no clutch poppin for you, Lego.

Melophile, sorry to see that, hope it's either minor and can be fixed back to new condition or major and you can get a good settlement. Keep us posted.

Yeah, that's what I did. I keep them in the net thing.

I learned back in 1996 that an EFI-engine MUST have some juice in the battery to start. No juice, no fuel pump. No fuel pump, no fuel. No juice, no injectors will fire. I wore myself OUT trying to push start my little Sentra SE-R with a dead battery before stopping to think.

I've never gotten a pop-start to be succesful, except in my S2000... And the battery wasn't dead, the starter wasn't working.

Most of my driveway has a slope. Every once in a while I let the car roll and pop the clutch just for the heck of it.

Replaced the Low/High beam bulb with 5000k and the fog lamps with 5000k LEDs. I also added the TailLight Turn module from Diode Dynamics.

That suuucks. Looks like a pretty new tire and an unpluggable puncture. Do you have road hazzard coverage? Or did they plug that?

The tire was actually at 5/32 and you're right, it was unpluggable since it was too close to the sidewall. I ended up just buying a new pair of tires.
