Richie has 2 problems.
1. His clutch isn't engaging. We are kind of baffled as to why it's doing this. When you push on the clutch, there's no resistance. It's like stepping on air.
2. He has no cooling system. Ac/Radiator are busted, so he has no coolant going through the engine.

2. Get new radiator and A/C condensor
