>Not having one hand on the shifter 24/7 for maximum shifting efficiency

Right hand racecar, left hand new

All except Douche Mode depending on how into the drive I am

>>15670213
I'm a douche, and a half racecar driver at times. Douche when its hot, and im just cruising through the hood. And when I'm a little more attentive i drive with one hand on the left (9). I NEVER drive with 2 hands, i know 2 hands is proper and a lot safer, but it just feels so damn un-natural to me it sucks.

-You

>>15670213

douche mode, but I lay my wrist on the steering wheel, I dont grip it, flex my tricep and look over at you when you pull up next to me. so im like a chill bro douche - the acceptable kind who does t take themself too seriously

>douche

But why? It's cool holding the wheel like that while keeping the other hand on top of the shifter

>>15670213
1 hand new drivers left

Red if I'm driving relaxed in the city or where I need to have my other hand on the shifter a lot.

Purple if I'm on the highway.

Blue if I'm getting hectic and not shifting, obviously.

More importantly, what the fuck is up with all that empty space on the right side of the left guage? Is that were all the indicator lights are?

L+R racecar or elbow out window with left hand between blue and green like pic related minus the right hand.

>>15670213
Left hand between 9 and 10, right hand on the shifter or close to it.

P.S.: You don't wear out anything if you don't apply pressure to the shifter and only rest your hand on top of it.

>keeping pressure on the lever
That's not how it fucking works you fucking nigger. One thing is keeping your hand on the knob, the other one is pushing the shifter on the direction of the gear with all your might. And even then, the clutch will wear out sooner than the synchros by doing that

On hand at 6, the other either on the shifter or resting, unless I'm turning because >lolmanualsteeringrackwithballoontires

Douche mode becuase I always use one hand on the steering wheel and that position allows better turning.

I try to remember to move my hand to 9 if an accident ever occurs.

1 at 6. Always. Who uses two hands for the wheel?

>>15670514
Nigga I drive a manuel yet I get both my hands on the wheel when possible. Might have to do with the fact that our streets are warzone tier and steering bump is a thing with econobox McPherson setups.

>>15670526
I only keep two hands on the wheel in the motorway or if I'm going through a specially twisty road, tho.
My steering is really light and grippy, tho.

Now I know you're full of shit m8. In Australia we've got Abos. Abos drink cask wine out of a sack and huff petrol to go back to the Dreamtime. Hell, if they knew what Jenkem™ as they'd be brewing it.

But they won't go near diesel. It's the only pump in the NT the servos don't have to keep secured because even Abos won't huff diesel.

>>15670574
There's something comfy about burned diesel smell.
Although petrol does smell way better unburnt.

>>15670213
Usually in longer freeway drives pink with index finger and thumb. When in city mostly racecar position.

Right on green and left arm laying out the open window unless I change gears

9 and 3 if I'm getting hektik, but just day to day traffic I'll have my hands at 5 and 7 on the bottom 2 spokes. It's comfy, I can rest the backs of my upper arms on the bolsters that way. 7 and the shifter if traffic is bumper to bumper enough to require it.

Douche. Also, holding the steering wheel from the bottom.

>>15671716
It does. Manual transmissions are significantly slower than modern DCTs.

It really depends. Mainly im at 3 and 9. If im lazy i will douche it up at 12 or do 10 and 3. If im tired and lazy which is when i also drive slower, i do right hand on 6 with left supporting my head off the door or at 10 on the wheel.

>>15670213
I guess I'm a douche.

I feel very uncomfortable with my right hand on the wheel.

I steer with my knees so I can shitpost on 4chan

green = normal

Mix between douche and race car, depending on how I feel like driving

Holy fuck what are you driving? Even my 1995 mk3 golf Variant with a 75hp 1.9 TD and 500k km can hold 90-100kmh on a pretty steep uphill grade.
If you downshift you are a shit driver who cant into maintaining speed.

>>15670213
Depends which car I'm driving

>>15670213
Green whenever I have both hands on the wheel. Usually, one hand on the wheel and one on the gearstick, with the wheel hand on the right hand green bit because RHD.
Why green? It's a Ford. There are big grippy ergonomic pads there that help when turning the wheel.
One hand only because power steering. Not like my old car where you had to use both hands to haul the huge-ass wheel around, or the car I learned on with really stiff steering.
I fucking love driving a modern car. I don't have to exert huge control forces!

>>15670213
Douche here.

Either both hands on moms
Or
Just my left hand on 7

>>15670213
Green when I start driving and pretty much every time I'm in the city. Then I proceed into blue when I start driving on the highway. After a while on the highway, I have my hands laying in my lap and keep the steering wheel in the correct position with one or two fingers. If the highway has traffic or if I have to constantly overtake and change lanes, I normally use blue or green.

>>15673074
>what is a petrol engine with less torque

Sure, a diesel can go uphill and not need to downshift. Petrol engines, not so much, unless they are big enough to get decent torque at low rpm's.

Douche most of the time. If things get tense, I put one hand at nine, and one at 5 to stabilize.

>>15670286
Don't get in an accident then, fag.

Window hand new driver, stick hand mum. Allows extra stabilisation without detracting from shift time due to the low travel distance.

Damn there are some stupid motherfuckers in this thread pretending like they don't go to jiffy lube and only drive standard in need for speed

>>15673213
