Not going to matter which hill in Pasadena it was. Just don't get stuck on a hill for a prolong period of time! Yeah, I'm pretty sure that putting the gear in neutral helped cool down the clutch because it disengages it.

I been going to Hollywood Bowl to see the fireworks for the past few years, haven't been to Pasadena. I think you mean Rose Bowl, right?? How is it compare with Hollywood Bowl??

My friends and I were at the Annandale Golf Club viewing the Rose Bowl fireworks. I don't know how it compares to the Hollywood Bowl. I've never seen the fireworks there.
