I swore I wouldn't get involved in the debate of which is better,
but...... I'm not saying which is better, which is faster, which is more
practical. I am just pointing out a problem with one of the arguments. I
can't quote the exact line because I subscribe to the digest. It went
something like "You can use your starter motor to move the truck if the
engine is dead." I'll agree to that statement on older cars, but.... Due
to big brother fearing that we're all idiots, and would severely
hurt ourselves given half the chance. Most if not all new vehicles have a
safety switch installed on the clutch. No clutch, no starter. It seems
to me that if the clutch is pushed in to allow the starter to run you
aren't going to get very far.
I know I should let it go, but being one of those engineer types I feel
it is my civic duty to point out any and all errors I can find. Besides
it's fun. :)

There was a followup article you must have missed. Some trucks (my current '86
Nissan for example) have an override switch. Assuming my '98 Dak doesn't have
one it's a piece of cake to install one.
Now is that called a clutch disable re-enabler switch? :-)
