Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Oh, starting on a hill is absolute shit if you're not good wth a clutch.
The hardest I ever drove was a '72 VW Super Beetle and it would roll backwards the millisecond I took my foot off the brake.. You couldn't slip the clutch and have it grab fast enough. Did learn how to heel-toe the clutch and brake on that and the last year I had it, got so good with shifting by ear, I seldom used the clutch once the car was rolling. That was cool. Could downshift w/o the clutch as well. It was a 4-speed so it had a wider wheel speed/motor speed range to play with in each gear.
Was almost as good with the no-clutch shifting on my '82 Celica (I really, really loved that car.. rear wheel drive so it was drift city before I even knew that was a thing... and you BET I did.. Sport Rally 5 transmission for the WIN!)
Now I'm on my third Impreza and they have such grabby clutches, tight transmissions and small shift windows for no-clutch, that I've never really made inroads with it.
I still drive like a maniac however.
