Yes, I normally do press the brake when I started the car up. But, I was just sitting in the car half way to warm the car up before we leave. Wasn't thinking at all and used my right foot to press the clutch in with left foot outside the car on the ground. Stupid, I know, and trust me I paid for that stupity. Criticism doesn't hurt me at all. I can take it and not get worked up, so flame on. I deserve it!

I work 14 hour nightshifts and one day I got off and started my civic and thought it was out of gear and lurched forward. Thankfully 76 HP and no tq stalls and nothing happened. It would be terrible in a camaro! Best of luck dude
