New England B.S. Thread

Weather is good out here too so I’m not really sure. there’s about seven or eight different towns that I know of that do not have power

 

Maybe the Rocket Man detonated an EMP over Western MA?

 

I hate driving in big boots. I'd rather drive in sneakers and change shoes when I get there.

Also, what's the purpose of heel/toe?

Super frustrating! You showed more restraint than I think I could have.

 

Matches revs on a downshift so you don't lose traction; keeps the rear end from getting loose from that hiccup when you declutch. For day to day driving it's not really necessary but it's easier on the synchros in the transmission. If you're driving 'spiritedly' it can keep you out of the ditch. Breaking traction at speed in a tight bend is a good way to introduce yourself to the ditch/wall.

 

Moved to Plymouth, NH, haven't been on here for a year or so. Seen a couple nice tacos around town.

 

Makes sense, thanks!

Also, page 6000! Woo!

 

It's absolutely necessary for daily driving!

All this talk is really making me miss driving a manual transmission...

 

Yeah. One of the cars I learned to drive on was a little two door wrangler MT with no frills. Driving that in the mountains of CO was fun! But driving a manual here with all the traffic would suck.

 

any of yall done this? https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...ibrate-your-vsc-computer-the-easy-way.467485/

 

Same. Ugh

 

Oh, no I just meant halfway to the weekend. Humping day.

 

When we were racing the type r the active rev matching was amazing. I thought I'd hate not being in control, but it was so quick and smooth

 

Meh. For day-to-day I can't say that I really need to do a lot of rev matching. But, my manual transmission vehicles are both old trucks, so there's not a lot of 'spirited' driving involved with them. Just double-clutching, lol.

 

I rev match whenever I downshift

 

You're also not driving a 35 year old (or 50 year old) truck.

Edit- or an automatic, lol.

 

Nope, but it seems easy enough, maybe I will! Hardest part will be finding a level place to park...

 

No but I've cycled through some old pieces of shit, most of them manual

 

Thank you again for your business, Nick! We appreciate it very much!

 

No but thanks for the link

 

That's class right there!
