I like how the stick wiggles when you are sitting at lights. Also, I notice you coast a lot. Maybe that's just me. I get weird when I coast in neutral for any length of time. I don't know why :(

No neutral coasting. That's fifth gear you're seeing most likely. I also get weird when trying to coast in neutral.

Updated with a youtube vid instead. Seems to be fewer issues with it.

Nice vid, Tony! What kind of mount did you use for the camera (you shot this with your iphone, right?)?

Haha. I stuck the phone under the headrest. Jammed it between the headrest and the seat, really.
