Looks like a lot of people have problems going down

 

Ouch. It’s always funny when I see limos or delivery trucks get stuck on the top of a downhill slope because they’re so long they just seesaw at the top.

I heard the story of how my friend with a Prelude drove down Lombard St.

For those who doesn’t know what Lombard St. is, it’s a compact winding road going downhill popular with tourists.

He said he has to operate the clutch, handbrake, and gas at the same time perfectly to not roll down the hill and to not stall the engine. It’s a lot of stop and go too.

 

i would walk, get the exercise. but if you do drive just think bart 4lo all the time 2nd gear

 

Haha makes me laugh when people can't handle starting and stopping on steep hills with a manual, no offense, but a little practice and it's nothing to be afraid of

 

as i feel the clutch grab i get the revs up to 2k depending on the hill and i dont roll back a bit

 

Pretty much, not great for the clutch, but I can start on a hill pretty much without moving

 

very true i only do that on steep hills. on gentler ones i just start like i normally do, at most i roll back an inch

 

pretty low i say 15mph tops

 

I wish all pickups were made with a granny first like most full sizes have. That would be so awesome

 

if at least the "off-road package" or "tow package" they have a granny gear. i would like to add one lol

 

You just gotta learn to drive one first then you'll think differently lol.

 

I have to park on street atm, and then for school park at the stadium and take a bus to classes. Pretty neat.

 

I’m not afraid of the cold but walking would be quite a bit of effort. This new truck as gotten better gas mileage than my old truck ever got, haven’t even filled it up yet since I moved, also haven’t really driven anywhere either.....

 

get a damn bicycle.

 

We used to take our skateboards down that street. Pretty fun to bomb lumbard. Stick is easy af down that street though...public transit is pretty good in SF Tyler. I suggest the same as this below.

He is afraid of hypodermic needles in the seats. The fear of it isnt totally basesless. They have found them in seats on the bart trains, but he could stand.

 

Bart trains are sketchy. My cousin works as a janitor on them and he says they find crazy stuff sometimes

 

You arent wrong

 

every time you talk about BART i picture it as this cesspit of shame and disgust

 

Pretty much what it is

 

But they pay good

Janitors make 28$ starting with full benefits lol
