    • Wanted to Start on a Steep Hill? We had a Tool for that: it was Called “Flooring the Gas while letting go off the Clutch”

    IT AIN’T NO GOOD MORNIN’ WITHOUT THE SMELL OF NICELY BURNED CLUTCH

      We’d park my buddies Mustang on a hill wherever we went in case it wouldn’t start. LOL, everyone made fun of him saying it was a Pinto. (<- it was this, but really, really shitty)

      I was going to say, I always had my e-brake on when I parked my car and so I always started the car with it on.

      Does he mean slowly let off the clutch while releasing the e-brake? Does he put on his e-brake if he stops on a hill, in traffic too!

        I’ve had to use the ebrake method before for a hill that was wayyyy too steep and a fence gate closed behind me.

        You basically just let off the clutch and press on the gas until the car wants to move forward, then you let off the e brake and go without going backwards.
