Tried it, reset my oil change indicator. Following for more car facts.
Old school way to do a burnout with an automatic transmission.
That is probably how you really take a screenshot of the main display in a Tesla
Someone clearly has never had to hill start a manual transmission vehicle…
Don’t you use the handbrake for a hill start? Kinda awkward stepping on both the brake and gas pedals while one foot is on the clutch.
Yep, can do that, or heel-toe the clutch and break if you’re not a fuckin wuss
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

why is embedding gifs so hard
Smart drivers do. I don’t know why anyone does the fast foot shuffle.
There are a few possibilities:
- 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.
Rev match downshifts.
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
Got to learn how to do the heel-toe technique
Off topic but I’m really happy I’m seeing more and more mastodon screenshots instead of Twitter. Also helps me find new peeps to follow.
I can’t unsee the visual of me trying this now.
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?
