it might help is she was pushing the clutch in...lol, it shouldnt even be trying to crank without the clutch engaged

[dedgeworth]

@nickelback18 LOL...a car with manual transmission will crank and start without the clutch pushed in as long as it's in neutral. At least that's the case with all the stick-shift cars I've owned!

[nickelback18]

@dedgeworth yea nope...didnt start..sorry..

[dedgeworth]

@nickelback18 ATM a 2007 Honda Civic. But I have driven dozens of stick shift cars (automatics are unusual here in the UK), all of which have started without the clutch. Maybe your car has an immobiliser safeguard that needs the clutch pushed in before you can start it?

How did you make this?

[dedgeworth]

@RazorSlik Using 3D animation software, Carrara 7. The base model is Victoria v4.2, and the clothes, shoes and hair are added on separately.

great CG legs, but the blank stare kinda creeps me out; a little more emotion next time?

[hellpiggy4099]

are there any more c.c. movies like this? anyone?

You can tell she's doing it wrong, because she's a woman.

[kroms001]

I agree with most... She sure did flood the hell out of that engine.

@nickelback18 NOP!!! cars dont have neutral switch before 70s...

Oddest...CG....ever made. o_O

@nickelback18 its an older car. older cars dont need to have the clutch disengaged, mind it is a good idea. the only reason you'd put the clutch in when your starting a car is to reduce resistance on the starter. the less stuff the starter has to try and move the better.

damn she floods the damn thing plus doesnt help that its a ford
