I am the guy who broke his hip on Dec 8th. Sitting here getting antsy I got into into THE OL A .(THEOLA ) I got into The car and started her up. I can push the brake pedal , moved her up and back , clutch is free. So As soon as the wife gives me the OK we will run. The reason for the post. A picture of my first car . I was 16 worked at a Buick dealership after school 5:00 to 9 :00 P.M. Had access to the junk parts bin and as a 16 year old I tried to make a Buick out of her. Notice the front bumper with a Van Alkin guard and the oversized 40 buick muffler and a whole lot of anything I could get my hands on. Fog lights ect. Any way I'm ready. Tony

Sorry to hear about your hip ! ! Not fun.
Depending on which hip, pushing the clutch in/out is good therapy !
Good luck with your recovery.
