Message	The parking lot at my school is a haven for parents who like to teach their kids to drive. One evening, I was working a little late and as I stepped out of my building I could smell the overpowering odor of clutch/brake!!! As I approached the parking lot, I sighted the source. There sat a BRAND NEW Volkswagen beetle with a middle aged man in the passenger seat and a young lady in the driver's seat. She had the engine reving pretty high, but that car was barely moving(not even the slightest buck). I approached the passenger side and asked Dad if he needed some help. He said he was teaching his daughter to drive. I couldn't help but let him know that it might be a good idea to end the lesson. Not that any diagnosis was needed, but after a little looking and smelling around, it was confirmed... his daughter had fried the clutch out with only 62 miles on the odometer. Good day.
