When I drive with the windows down, I can hear the people who have to (try to) operate a clutch. The whining of not shifting at the right spot, the lugging of...
Rice boys! My boyfriend and I just *love* them. My boyfriend drives a minorly modified WRX wagon (suspension and exhaust being the only major tweaks). Drivers...
... Yes, true. I worry about my own driving and laugh at the fools who won't or can't learn to drive well. Actually, nonuse of turn signals, slowing to a stop...
... They exist in the east, too. We have them in Kentucky. I'll bet you have a weekend cruising strip in a rough area near you where they hang out. Most just...
Those are some of my peeves as well. I drove a Chevette for 8 years, and it actually helped me improve the smoothness of my driving. Its lack of acceleration...
Maybe time to change the subject of this thread. Talking of stories, here's one about safety that only a stick can provide. I rented a car in the Turks &...
Push starting a car is about the only advantage a stick has over an automatic .... having your brakes go out one can still downshift the auto transmission -...
How do you do this? I don't have a Trix auto but in the autos I've driven its only had D1 D2 N P and R, and I've seen others with a triptronic that given...
And even being able to push start it isn't always useful. My boyfriend's battery died a few weeks ago. He would have been able to push start it if he didn't...
There are certain speeds/RPMs that you can downshift to to reduce your speed. And yes, it could cause your engine to over rev, but if it's a case of doing that...
On most new automatic transmissions, the drive gears you can select from the gear shifter are simply suggestions that guide the engine computer in its choice...

If the battery is dead - will this still work since there is no power in the battery to run the spark plugs/ECU? I used to do this on my 84 diesel vw rabbit...

Push starting will work with a dead battery (like when you left the lights on) and in some cases when a battery fails (1 or 2 shorted cells, maybe an open...
I did this for a few days on my 1980 Chevette. The clutch cable broke so the clutch was always engaged. I drove around Pittsburgh for a couple of days (I had...

... Jose, Oh, I don't know - a ricer biker running his Suzuki GSXR1000 at 5000 RPMs between 500 yard residential stop signs might be just as annoying. Or any...
Does anyone have this TSB to describe the 'clicking' or tapping noise coming from the suspension of the trix? *SU003-02 FRONT UPPER SUSPENSION NOISE ...
It's funny how for my last tank, with temperatures way up into the 90's for many days in a row, using the A/C much of the time, I got even better fuel economy...
