My buddy won't buy a standard shift civic because he believes that his wife can't properly drive a standard shift car. He claims she wore out 3 consecutive clutches by constantly "riding the clutch". He says that women just cant drive a standard (I told him the guy who will be best man is a clutch rider...so I don't think it's just a chick thing). Is it true: Lady driven = clutch ridden???

some of the best clutchers are women running all kinds of race cars, just ask Tony Shoemacher :)

no it isn't,,i own a repair shop,in Tennessee,and i get more from men who ride the clutch, than i do from women to repair, it seems us men like to prop our foot on something,and that something seems to be the clutch pedal sometimes,but i don't think there's a lot to that old saying anymore,,good luck,i hope this help,s.

Not true anymore..........
Depends on the driver. I know a lot of guys who don't have a clue when it comes to driving a standard.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh... the shame of it all.............
