The synchros now negate all this crap. My MT toyota pickup is 19 years old. 160k miles, original clutch. I've never rev matched, double clutched, or blipped it. I spent years driving it like I stole it.

Drive your vehicle how ever you want, but don't act like you NEED to do any of that junk.
You don't need to do all that shit, but don't go and post crap about how it's stupid on public road.

Even been on the highway in 5th/6th and want to pass in 3rd? Double clutch and rev match like a king, it takes less than a second and the gear goes right it and it's just as smooth as an automatic.
