Re: Brand new manual driver...a little depressed

Re: Misc Thread VI: Return of the Threadi

height doesn't mean jack really as long as you are near the average height you are fine. In US the averages (20-29yo) are Men (5 ft 10 in) Women (5 ft 4+1⁄2 in) as long as you are in that ballpark and you aren't getting laid you are doing something wrong, if women aren't hitting on you, then be a ma...

Re: Advice needed - new manual driver with abrupt/grabby clutch

Who cares if your rpms go up a couple hundred as you are releasing the clutch..... if it's spiking thousands then you're doing something wrong.

Re: Shift to neutral without the clutch? and upshift technique.
