Even with the clutch engaged it's a bad thing? That's good to know...hopefully I haven't messed anything up. I really hope that nothing is shot on the car (the engine or the transmission)...I'd think that if there was, I'd experience something like difficulty shifting, etc. But I could definitely be wrong about that.

Anyway, thanks for the response...I'll certainly keep that in mind, and keep my fingers crossed that my car is okay...
