I drove my 66 bus for four months using the clutch only at stop
signs.  I drove diesel school busses for a couple years back in
the 70s with crash boxes where a clutch was unnecessary.  Every
standard shift car can be driven without use of the clutch, except
for stopping of course.  The variables are "fear" and competence.    

Now that I've declared what i know, I wonder if someone will
reveal how narrow my knowledge is...
