Ah, gotcha

✌️

Pepperoni and salami are totally different dude, you might as well be saying that Americans should just call their potatoes "yams". And you can get both of those sausages and many, many more on your pizza, often at the same time

Is "model" not defined as architecture+weights? Those models certainly don't share the same architecture. I might just be confused about your point though

Can anybody make out what he yelled at the end there?

New rage album when?

What can you put that?

nice hustle

VIN number

They've been planning it all along

PIN number

One of the first cars I ever drove was the family turbo v6 Chevy box van with an auto (column shifter, the best kind for autos). Thing could seat 12 and handled like a stack of mattresses, but I'd crush the gas pedal into the floor and that thing would pull surprisingly well - after 2-3 business days. Between the transmission taking it's time to pick just the right gear and the turbo spooling up I could literally punch it and go "one Mississippi two Mississippi three mississi-" VVVVRRRROOOOOMMM. The delay was so prominent that it actually came full circle and became hilarious and fun to drive, one of the only autos I really liked.

True but again, most modern trains don't have the internal combustion engine directly delivering power to the wheels, they're hybrids where the engine is essentially just a generator powering an electric drivetrain. You can't have regen without a place to put that regenerated electricity, engine braking is distinct as that energy goes toward compressing air in the cylinders and generating heat that just goes out the exhaust as waste.

My first thought was maybe that the car had a leak or somebody was working on it recently. I've done this before with broken down cardboard boxes. Granted I never left them in a public parking spot, but it's not a stretch that they forgot either. Idk though, this is just a wild guess

Exactly! In city driving or parking lots when I'm just creeping around I literally don't touch the gas at all sometimes

neet

Haha no worries

The "don't touch the gas" thing is mostly just a learning exercise for people brand-new to driving stick to get a feel for where their clutch bites and how it slips, it's not the way to start a car rolling, certainly not on hills. Though anecdotally, I've driven at least a dozen manual transmission cars and trucks and only one lacked the torque to start and roll just idling - because we found out later that its timing jumped a tooth. So this line

None of this "wait till the cars starts rolling and then you have a quarter of a milisecond to add gas before it dies on you.

makes me suspect that there's something up with your car? Even if it can't start from idle, any car should be able roll in idle

Regen is just an electric car thing though, no? And EVs (with very few exceptions) don't have a transmission at all?
