eye didn't realize til now (well, before my work computer decided to freeze up) the significance of what you were saying about being in halloween town etc. i thought you were talking about the boston area in general, and i was thinking why is he referring to his town as halloween town like it's special. then i realized you are in halloween town, land of witches and burning corpses (or whatever they did to those witches, too lazy to look up now). i remember driving through salem during some protest, eye forget which one. didn't see too much of the area, but my favorite part was the area near the water. there was this bar on a boat below where we were hanging out but we didn't go down there. didn't see any witches or trials going on. made the apparent mistake of driving through the town of lynn on the way to a beach just north of boston proper. we made it out alive but just barely. outtakes included some guy giving us the finger through his moonroof when i attempted to merge into traffic; must be an eastern mass thing.

They used to break their fingers all the time prior to the invention of the moonroof.

And the moon roof was originally invented so people could more easily moon others on the highway?

I think someone would have to be above you for you to moon them from the moon roof.

Our MDX has different thresholds in the pedals that trigger and release the brake hold (if active) and start/stop systems. Except on a steep downhill, I can stop with a light enough touch to activate neither system. If it's a longer stop and I want to be able to take my foot off the brake, a little more brake triggers the brake hold. A little more brake than that is required to trigger the start/stop (and only if all the conditions on its operation are met). When time to go approaches, a little throttle restarts the engine and a little more releases the brake hold. If the brake hold system isn't active or isn't triggered, just releasing the brake restarts the engine.

I also haven't been driving a stick . My fiesta ST was totaled. I picked up a C8 in November which only is available with a DCT.

Holy crow bro, how have you been?! Idk why I come in here either, maybe just force of habit, or some weird gravity-like force. Didn’t you have a Passat and or a GTO at one point in time a few year back? Could be mixing you up with someone else…are you the Porkchop??

No, I don't know what its criteria are for restarting, but suppose maybe Delta T triggers it, because I typically only notice it when the outside temperature is uncomfortably cold or hot.
