Been here for a few months and Beth and I love it.

We spent our ThxGiving in Galveston and took in the ocean views. If you ever go there grab a bite to eat at Landry's, real good food.

Most of my driving in traffic is gasless upshifts. I just perform the shift quickly and dump the clutch. I may get a hint of engine braking so sometimes due to the incline i'll give a hint of gas to keep the 'coast' effect. Double Clutch Downshifting is the best way to downshift match IMO because yo...
