Here's a video of what happens (or doesn't) - opinions please. Thanks...

(Can't post it now - but will try later).

Sounds like your clutch is toast. Probably due to a bad oil seal. Could be from the trans or even the rear main(crankshaft) seal. Just have your car towed to your dealer and have them look at it.

Good Luck - we all feel for you. And PLEASE let us know what the cause was.
