does anyone know how it feels!!
 

I played 3 hour of basketball and was driving back to my house and "pop" my left thigh had bad cramp!! if it was auto I can manage it, but my car is manual!! I can't press the DAM CLUTCH!! so I put my car in street and waited like 1 hour(massaging my thigh) I still couldn't DRIVE!! I barely made it to my house.
does anyone experience similar incident? how did you manage?
I told my friend and they were laughing like crazy!! BUT IT IS NOT FUNNY LOL.
please don't get serious its a fun/killing time thread
enjoy rest of days

Yes, and I would rev-match the shifts (FWD 4cyl cars). Only needed the clutch to start the car and from stop to first. I feel for ya.

I cramped my calf stepping on the clutch after a long run one time. I was out of commission for a couple days after that.

+1

If you have been driving your car long enough you will get a feel of where to gently push the stick into the gear you want. Keep the RPM's down and smooth. Use e-brake and right foot or get take a bus! :roflpuke2:

Sounds like you need some electrolytes. Sodium and fluids.

lol come do a LEG day with me at the gym and you might throw up on the dash on your ride home.

ye I felt like a loser..it hurts so bad though. for second I thought of trading my car for auto so I wont be in that situation again

Yep, know how you feel. In my younger days used to play a lot of Bball and only drove sticks. What a b___h when you twist or sprain an ankle, had to borrow parents car on several occasions......how pathetic :shakes head:

meh, I played a few hours of basketball, football and some good old fashion NYC handball all day yesterday and drove home fine.

I think you're just out of shape :p

but it's OK, we forgive you :icon17:

importance of stretch and warmup before doing anything activities.

I play Foot-Ball so I know exactly what you mean haha I had something similar happen to me and I thought about making a thread about it 2 hahaha. But yea it sucked! I just fought through the pain :driving:

YE~ I am not the only one that experience cramp and drove manual

+1 for bball but yeah you get that old man cramp. :icon17:

Power shifting all the way home!

Wut? Sodium and fluids? Tequila FTW!

Ouch, ya never cool.

Once after a two hour sparring session (Muay Thai) I was driving home and I must have taken too many inside leg kicks....thigh started to spasm and I had to stretch out my left leg

I just tried to coast in 3rd for awhile...thankfully the Z has good leg room!

Squats, burpees, squat jumps, and tires. Legs every other day keeps the spasms away.

Sciatic nerve... Several weeks to heal. Thought I'd be stuck with it forever.

Did this playing Basketball 3 days ago.

Deployed, so I dont have to drive my 6mt :ugh2:

Eww! I keep messing up my thumb playing volleyball. With blocks, ball can roll off my finger which hurts like heck.

Played in a soccer tournament one time and my calf cramped up. Pulled over and massaged it managed to make it home.

Another time I rolled my ankle and I had to let a buddy drive my car :ugh2: happiest day of his life lol

funny thing is im 6'4 and a half and ive never had an issue getting in or sitting in the Z, its actually more comfortable then my beater. :icon17:

I did have a guy when I was buying the car try to find fault with the Z seating, but then saw me sit in it, and was like "Oh my fault nvm" :rofl2:

No Sugar and fluids so you get hyper. :bowrofl:
