As I neared the door, this kid approached me as he was jingling some change in his hand. He was maybe about 15 or 16 and I thought he was panhandling at first, but then he asks me if I would go to the tobacco store next door and buy him some Newports.

I told him I couldn't do that and he asked again. I then told him that it was illegal and I was not interested n breaking the law today. He then said that he was getting them for his sister who was just around the corner. The answer is still no, I replied and kept heading to the dry cleaner. He asked one more time and I told him that he can buy all he wants when he turns 18.

Get this -- he said he was 18 so I just laughed and said "whatever, have a good day".

As I entered the cleaners, he yelled, quite loudly, "White-azz Cracker!!!"

When I looked it up in my Urban Dictionary application, it turns out that it was an insult to my race. Unbelievable. I feel hurt. Very hurt.

You shoulda said "actually, I'm a cold a$$ honkey!"

I also almost got pulled over, and I blame the SRM for getting the cops attention. It's habit to throw it into neutral to be quiet and coast, but noooo. SRM said, "5k rev match. GO!"

Just paced the cop and he gave me the Mutumbo finger wag that I posted about on FB. I couldn't help but smile and laugh after that. That's the one thing I don't like about SRM. I'll just have to learn to not throw it in neutral... in the end, it's my fault.

on golf lessons

That's why I don't really use SRM anymore. When I bought the car I thought it would be awesome (and it is - but only in certain circumstances that aren't common to DD). My wife hated it and turned it off when it was her DD. I found that, while useful in traffic, it was more annoyance fighting the rev match. Now that it's my DD, I find myself very rarely using it except when I want to be lazy on my downshifts or not worry about my rusty heel-toe in racing applications (none of which happen very often as I try to stay out of traffic, I almost never limit brake in this car, and I would prefer to unrust my heel-toe racing skills even if I do push it like that).

Oh and I LOVE the Mutumbo finger wag reference

If you're in 4th or 6th gear it will always rev when you move the shift knob out of gear - how much just depends on where the RPMs are when you put the clutch in. But then if you start to move it even remotely towards another gate, it will try to rev match again (i.e. 6th gear out of gear might not rev much to match 5th gear but then if you let the shift knob go back to neutral position, it will rev match again for 4th or even 3rd gear). I enjoy coasting in neutral to slow down from 6th when I come up on a highway stop light (neutral as soon as the light turns red way up ahead then shift to whatever gear needed as the light turns greens). SRM messes this up big time.

I have to turn SRM off to get no throttle blip.

It depends on the gate and the RPMs you were in prior to going into neutral, but generally speaking, yes, this happens.

That's what I do

Yeah, the SRM does bug me, but it's so nice to not have to rev match, esp. in traffic on the way home from work and such.

And I can't physically heel-toe with my knee, so that part is out of the question.

She just laughed
