This translates to :

Took car on a long lunch brake to the strip club, exsperiance 1)burn outs - clutch slipped a little, 2) Noise bearing from the broken transmistion peices from burn out test. 3) Hooker rash on rear ( aka the clap as I call it )

From: 100 miles offshore as much as possible, & Springfield Oregon USA

When a manual transmission slips it acts just like an automatic transmission - when you step on the go pedal the engine makes more noise and uses more fuel and more heat is generated but not much 'go' comes out of it....
