Why do idiots always think you want to race just because you were moving forward a little at the red light?

Stop samefagging, and it's my day off.

>>15182296
I just take off fast at stop lights because I have a V8 and I like going fast. Don't care to race your shitbox, anon.

>>15182303
Not talking about fast cars, just any regular altima or accord next to you will do this shit

>>15182296
I don't get when people inch forward at stop lights like it makes the light change quicker

>>15182312
it sometimes triggers the sensor to change lights, otherwise i just sit there until I see the yellow lights for cross traffic

>>15182296
it's more of a me first attitude i think

>wow this guy is going to try to get to the next light faster than me better make sure that doesn't happen

although I don't inch up unless i'm 100% it's going to change in a second

>>15182311
Hahaha, why race with an altima? What a waste of gas.

one of the family cars is an old shitbox and the key broke off in the ignition. so you just start it with any key and put the key in the center console or whatever so they don't fall out of the ignition and get lost on the floor.

Fuck squeaky brakes can be embarassing if they're constant and super loud.

It's even worse when you haven't washed the car in forever so it looks just like the breaks sound.

Why would you have to get out and call someone because your car stalled?

>>15183733

...to get it towed, anon.

>>15182778

Go be a nigger somewhere else.

>>15183744
...Why would stalling immobilize the car? Unless it's a complete piece of rattling shit, that is..

>>15183651
>>15183487
Is this true for all manuals? Like explain to me mechanically why this is please. I've been neutralizing to deadlights for months now

>>15183753

If the vehicle won't start, it needs to be moved off of the street and/or towed somewhere to be inspected/repaired.

>>15183753
Do you know what stalling means? The word stall literally means to inhibit or stop, namely the engine. You're not going to be mobile for very long like that

>>15183766
afaik,in newer cars it's better to leave it gear if you want better mpg,but not in the older ones.

Why?
In newer cars,no fuel is being injected while you're coasting downhill in gear.

>>15184030
8 seconds?
how does it take you 8 seconds to start the car again

>>15183949
Because you were there

>>15183487
But how? Aren't you coasting at a lower RPM so you're using less fuel?
Please explain because I always hear mixed opinions on coasting in neutral.

>>15182702
fuck this feel

>>15184279
With transmission involvement the engine uses fuel to keep it running while coasting
With transmission involvement the engine can cut fuel and use the energy from the momentum of the car to keep it running while coasting

>>15184364
That makes sense now that I think about it

>>15184364
Without transmission involvement for the first example*

>>15184520
Glad you understood it

>>15183796
Yeah, that's when you turn the ignition off and start the car again, i've stalled cars many times, why would your piece of shit not just start right up after stalling, like every other car?

>>15182798
Coasting in gear gets you fuel cut, so you're saving gas. Just go into neutral when revs reach idle rpms.

I went through every fucking inch of that car fixing immaculately horrible wiring. When that didn't work I found that where the ignition coil was mounted up to the thermostat housing the damn thing would get so hot the fucker wouldn't carry a current or something correctly. Could have been where I used a cheap part. Never had a problem out of it again once I mounted it elsewhere until this piece called the intermediate shaft broke. It operated nothing but the rotor/oil pump. Wasn't a part you could just run down to a parts store and buy. Got pissed and sold it for $150 to a dude looking for a parts car to fix up a Dodge Shadow.

>so it looks just like the breaks sound

This is the EEEEEEEEEEEEEE mobile, it also leaked a lot of oil so whenever you stopped and turned it off it smoked more than Cheech and Chong, always had to look around for cops before getting out. Sold it to some guy later for $400 who wanted a shitbox for his son to drive around the farm so at least I made a profit on it.

>>15184850
Every once in a blue moon I would borrow an automatic car and go for the clutch after driving I for a while. Usually I would actually just stab the brake and scare myself a little before realizing I was just being a yard.

Cool pretend story.
If you're so uncoordinated that you smash the brake when going for the clutch out of habbit than you're too uncoordinated to walk.

alright buddy

>>15187772
In quite a lot of cars the brake pedal is wider than a brake pedal in a manual car, it sometimes stretches over to where the clutch would be.

Seriously Ethan, stop posting, you're always wrong.

Stalling a 1.2 petrol while reversing out of a sloped muddy parking.

>>15183487
>it uses more gas
you're retarded. With the tranny in gear, your wheels are now connected to your drive shaft and you will slow down by engine breaking if you stop pressing the throttle, while in neutral you disconnect the wheels from the transmission, and there is nothing resisting the wheels from spinning freely, thus you can coast without pressing in the throttle, and using more gas.

>>15188261
I've never seen an automatic where the pedal was normal width.
It's still never so wide that you should hit it on accident.
Stop defending your shit house story fag

>>15188767
That's not what he meant. When coasting while in gear, the wheels are actually pushing the engine rather than the other way around. This means that the ECU is able to stop injecting fuel, so you use no gas whatsoever coasting down a hill. If you were in neutral, the engine would have to use fuel to stay at idle RPM

>>15189985
I understand that, and that's true only for coasting downhill. My post referred to coasting on level ground, sorry for not making it clear.

>>15182312
Sometimes I do it when the guy in front of me does it because I think the light changed while I wasn't looking. But no, it's just the guy being a faggot.
