I've rented a few times recently. You're right, you'll have practically zero chance of getting a manual tranny. My most recent was two cars, a '99 Century and a 2000 NEON. The Century with a 3.1l V6

At the strip, the fastest launch technique I found == OUCH!!!! That's the sound that your wallet would make if it was an older american car with an automatic tranny. We used to call those "dry hops"

Hi Jack, You asked: When I took the McKamey school last spring, I had to rent a car - for some reason, they required a passenger's seat! <grin> Anyway, there were actually several rental cars there.

A funny thing that happened during my teenage years was the result of this technique. A friend of 16 had just gotten his license and was driving his Dad's '70 Pontiac Bonneville with some big block (

In high school in the '80s (in our parents' cars, of course!) we called those "atomic drops". I never fried a tranny (at least not until I got my own car) but I always figured the name must be really

DOH! This is the only technique I didn't try, except in the Century, which was useless because the parking brake was a PEDAL ON THE FLOOR with no hand release! What a dinosaur! I'll bet it would have
