Honestly spending time in an automatic car made learning left foot braking muuuch easier for me. No need to change what the left leg is doing, just devoted entirely to learning to brake properly. Then once you can do that it’s easy to add clutch duties back in.

Unless the revs drop so low your car starts to chug, just let them drop until you are ready to brake. Doesn’t harm anything.

A perfectly-executed, rev-matching heel and toe downshift is a thing of joy. 

THIS is the answer.

Honda already fixed the Civic...

You are devaluing this car as much as the owner is over-valuing.

10x? Sounds like you are the one hitting the pipe. Go find me a clean, 25k mile 5.0 manual for $2500. Please find me as many as you can, and I will buy all of them.

Lamborghini Miura.. just look at it.... look at it!!! Saw one in the Autostadt museum in Wolfsburg, thought my knees would give out. Quite simply the most beautiful car I have ever seen with my own eyes.

Something I came across recently.

XJ220.

I owned a DMC-12 for a while in the mid-late aughts and drove it often! It’s a fun little car, if not fast. Mine was an ‘81 5-speed car with 53k miles, I bought it for $12,500.  It was in great shape except someone had painted the bumpers black instead of factory gray.  I didn’t care.

Someone local to me was selling an XM back in February, and I really wanted it. I did check it out and noticed the inner window. What a cool car. It also had motorized armrest-height adjustment, which was awesome. But it had a leaking Liquide Hydraulique Minéral (LHM) system, and I already own three old temperamental…

It’s art on wheels anyway, and considering how difficult it is to drive with that gym required clutch and steering. Added to that, how stressful driving it must be because you can’t see what’s behind you or what’s coming up next to you because of those small windows and that wing, plus the maintenance required to…

This question has all the Countach.

My personal choice is also a practical one. We are a family of three, so just in case on a rare occasion we decided to go for a spin, the choice of a McLaren F1 would be perfect for us. And it would look stunning in my living room, in papaya orange.

Everybody is STILL copying it. Because it is THAT iconic.

Nah. You got a lot more rust here than just a patch over the passenger rear wheelwell.

My experience is that shitty little cars and trucks are pretty fun to drive in general. I remember my Dad bought a huge Ford F-250. That thing had 2 gas tanks and got 11 MPG. Then he got a job that required lots of driving. So he went out bought an $800 beat to shit Nissan Sentra. No power steering. No AC. No power…

Blazing trails alright, to Costco and hoarding all the TP.

Stan Lee cosplay, and it was his First time being at the event.  That’s just fantastic.
