You ever wonder if your spoon-dimension self can pull you in and switch places and then you are stuck in the spoon dimension and the only other things there are things the spoon is currently reflecting. Then you have to wait for you spoon dimension Doppelganger to let its guard down while eating cereal to have a chance at switching back but it waited for decades to get out and is already keen to your tricks.
No, I hold down the clutch and the brake, then slowly start releasing the clutch, and when the engine starts struggling I release the brake and jump to the gas pedal to get more revs in, release the clutch all the way, and hopefully start moving forward instead of stalling the engine.
Or just hold the brake, put in gear, then release the brake, rev up the engine to 3k rpm and release the clutch. Not as good for the motor and gearbox but faster lol
Edit: Ya’ll, if one knows what they do, and knows the car, speeding the motor up to a specific amount, often 2-2.5k rpm, and releasing the clutch a specific amount, takes less time than gravity needs to overcome the inertia. I’m almost always literally starting while practically still standing, because it takes ~0.1 second to do said things, if you know the car and its sweet spots.
Flashback to my Del Sol where I had to brake+heel tap the accelerator to downshift. Still took less coordination than using a damn touch screen infotainment system
It’s faster, especially if the handbrake isn’t applied already.
Some cars, like the one I drove most of the time in driving school, have an automation to keep braking for a second, so one just needs to: Brake, Clutch, Put in gear, Release Brake, Rev up engine a bit, Release Clutch.
My current car’s Handbrake is basically non-functional, so I have to do the fast foot shuffle.
Beyond the triune screenshots of twitter, reddit, and tumblr, a new challenger appears (albeit in the shadow of Twitter). That challenger is Mastadon. What does this foretell for the discourse?
