I've always been a prissy faggot and would rather rev match religiously than drag the clutch and let the diesel engine braking eventually catch up. So much smoother.

>Day 4, still get confused when there's no clutch

I need to pay attention more and not muscle memory so much.

>Nails on chalkboard
I am one of the few people who does not find that sound annoying at all. Actually it's kind of pleasant to do. Many evil laughs were had back then.

Kek, I did this once.

lol, its a mechanical disengagement system, and the mechanics in my W124 WILL NEVER BREAK.

also, if for some reason (which is literally impossible) the engine isnt running and the system is disengaged, you just turn the key all the way to the off position, and back, to reset it. no matte rif the engine runs or doesnt run (obviosuly it shouldnt because you ust turned the car off) the starter will engage.

Sounds like daily carburetor life.

>trusting a 4000 lbs brick on wheels to a hook the size of your thumb

Do you drive an X-Trail with the 2.0 petrol? Done that several times in mumy grandfathers... such a quiet piece of shit

if i drive a classic then go back to my daily, i frequently have to check the tachometer to make sure the car is still running. Cars sure are quiet nowadays

You deserved it for even thinking this is okay.

Please explain. The speed limit was 100km/h and the car was doing 70 in the fifth gear just fine.

>4th gear and pretty high revs

Because i don't like it.

Sorry to have hurt your feelings bruh
If it is of any solace to you, I didn't use the sixth gear anyway

Thankfully I didn't murder my car that bad but it does run weirdly on idle sometimes.

Such an annoying fucking habit. Why. There are no hills in this country. The handbrake works fine. It isn't the 1960's anymore and this isn't a fucking trabant.

How dumb are you to not push the fucking clutch when turning on the car?

I always do you mong, then let it out to fiddle with the radio, aircon, seatbelts etc.

Sold It in the winter so he never even knew. Thank god it was a ferd with a dohc.

Your carb is tuned too lean

>5th gear in right lane

Jesus I hope you were driving a dorifto doing 50

>no busposting on Veeky Forums
>99% of Veeky Forums posters are bus riders

really makes you think and go hmmmmmm

I have a shitbox 97 f150 with the 4.2L v6. Pretty sure my engine is just a piece of dog shit and needs to be swapped.

that seems worse

I did this once
I was learning how to drive, my family and I went to a flanigans or something. I went into a parking space and I was parked incorrectly or something, my dad lectures me for a bit
It was loud outside and I guess I forgot the engine was on because I didn't hear any car noises. I needed to adjust so i went to "turn on" the car, horrible noise was made, and my dad looked at me like an idiot

>driving in 5th
>accidently [spoiler]brake to a comlete stop, pull up the handbrake, turn off engine and lock the car from outside with the key[/spoiler]

My jeep does that sometimes if it idles too long

What horrible sound are your referring to, OP?

Yeah, I hate it when my engine breaks too.
Learn English, bitch.

i love this car, dude.
i just did 800 kilometers in it again in one sitting. its the best car, no, the best OBJECT i have ever owned in my life.
there is nothing i can depend on as much as i can depend on that car. my trust in it has grown to such extreme proportions that i would probably shoot myself immediately should it ever not start or break down.

don't make them like they used to
I had a 1985 w123 and bought it for $1500 when it was at 350,000 miles. Drove it to 600,000 miles only having done regular maintenance and replacing the driver's side window switch
sold for $1500

Such is the life of a shitbox owner.

I bet this guy wish he did. I've had older trucks slip out of park before.

Why are you calling your dad an idiot if you are clearly the idiot?

I think he means his dad looked at him like he was an idiot.

i knew i wasn't the only one

>there's someone in the car

haha sucker you live in toronto

yeah u probably warped the living fuck outta that head lol

i did the same shit because it never came across my mind that things other than the seat would be different if someone else drove my car for a bit

of course i learned and i just park in gear everytime now instead of being lazy so I always have the habit of checking

>implying presto card works on the TTC
no way lol

lel

how do you even manage to fuck up a simple H pattern, I will never understand.
like nigger, JUST GO RIGHT, NOT LEFT

No, I went up not right lol

KKK is retarded, you don't have a carburetor.

Kek

Toyobaru but it didn't cross the red line.

>implying it doesn't

Buses, Streetcars and now most Subway stations have it. Step it up senpai
