In addition to fishing for thoughts on the above ^^^ yet another question.

This is an American car and from my understanding American cars need to have the clutch engaged in order to start the car. so two things:

1. Can this be changed, so it can be euro-style that no clutch needs to be depressed to start the car?
2. Can the car be "bump started" Such as if you push a manual and you drop the clutch while they key is on and its in second gear the car will start even with a dead battery?
