Since I was being butt-sniffed half the time in the fr-s this weekend (either they are in a rush or wanted to check out the car), I started to really appreciate when people give me some space behind and don't get mad at me for taking off slower than regular auto mashers. Im sure I'll get faster to take off soon (smoothly).
Most people reacted ok when I stalled, there were a few that got a bit angry. Its all good, I don't mind. |
Oh man, the worst is when you're trying to get your clutch to catch and reving the shit outta your engine before you realize you're not in gear. I drifted into the middle of a 4 way stop when I realized I was still in neutral so I panicked and promptly stalled right there as well.
The beauty of the situation is that most people don't know wtf you're doing when you've stalled. The people that do realize you've stalled are the other manual drivers and they'll usually understand and be more patient.
Btw, how you liking the car?
