RE: Drove an '07 Shelby GT
axel..i understand what you mean.
in my last college hockey game played, there was a scuffle in front of the net after i made a save, and one of the opposing players fell/dove onto my left leg while it was extended..it hurt a ton, but i shook it off and finished the game. i iced it after the game and such, and it felt quite a bit better when i was at off ice condition later that week...and while running sprints, my left knee exploded. i tore my MCL, PCL, lateral mensicus, and "ruptured" my ACL. i went through tons of rehab after a lengthy surgery, and i was told that i would never skate again, i would probably never walk without a limp, and that i wouldnt be able to drive a manual transmission "Safely". they also told me to expect the beginnings of arthrits by the time i was 30. im 28, and i am already feeling the effects of arthritis pain, but regardless of what they said, i walk just fine, i skate regularly (although no longer at a competitive level) and i have recently purchased my turbo AWD laser, so that i can have a stick shift car to enjoy while i am still physically capable. my stratus RT coupe is an autostick, which i ordered right after i graduated, and right after they told me that i would not recover fully...and i hate that its an auto, although it has been a great car, and i still havent spent a dime on it, shy of brakes and tires...impressive considering that i had it FOUR DAYS before it was on a drag strip, and about two weeks before it had been through an autoX course...but i constantly wish that it was a stick.
