Grandpa drives slow.

GrandpaGofast · 10-12-2009, 08:59 PM

I've only had my car three months, and I'm driving it much slower.
...But I'm enjoying it alot. Getting in sync w/ it. maximizing my fuel economy and clutch lifespan...
Took her to bocce yesterday, and a sunset run today.
Good stuff.

while driving, i discovered you can pull out of gear in the right situation. what are the pros and cons with this? it seems like you would save your clutch a little with it.

(Folks, Bill just doesn't want us to know there's a celebrity here. It's OK Bill your secret is safe w/ me.)
Train- Yes as you let off on the gas there's a spot when the engine is neither pulling or holding you back and she'll slip right out. I do that sometimes when I'm coming to a rolling stop.
Another thing I'll do is skip from second to fourth or third to fifth on a downhill easy acceleration.
