I stall today. That was embarrassing. I was on a red light first car, feeling like a boss, loud music, my Z roaring like a lion and when the light turns green I try and take off like a beast.............and i stall. i just started laughing, it's one of those funny moments u gotta enjoy

Haboob

I did that the other day! So embarrassing.

Though, it does take some getting used to with this clutch (vs. my other car). Stalled it twice actually, but one was pulling into the garage at work trying navigating an incline with no one around. I still hate hills, and the people that pull up right behind you.

Haha yea, I've been driving manual for 6 months now (something like that) and I feel I can pretty much driver anywhere, except San Francisco, those roads are scary I would not want to drive there.......... Yet

they say its as bad as NY city manhattan traffic? I doubt it.

Haboob

He's not talking about traffic. The absurd hills (and stop lights atop them).

Mt Tam I am

It stinks but does not suck. ie Not as bad.

The thing about San Francisco is not the traffic (at times it could be) its the going uphill on the main streets then having to stop while ur uphill haha. So ur on a hill and a car could be behind u and if you don't take off fast enough ur car can hit the other car, so yeah it can be a scary.

Broke the little white plastic hood prop clip yesterday while doing the steering lock fuse removal It costs a whole $3 and is not in stock at any local dealerships, so I purchased Pintsize's Z1 Hood Struts today and should have them installed tonight

When I'm pulling up to stopped vehicles on a hill, I always check my rear view mirror for vehicles. If there is someone coming to a stop behind me, I will roll back a tick to make sure they know I have a manual - even if I'm already stopped, if someone looks like they're barreling down on me, I'll let off the brake to roll back and then pull back up to where I was originally.

Its just precautionary and I'm not near as aggressive about it as I used to be with my Ford Explorer when I was a lot younger. One time a guy kept inching up on me closer and closer at a red light. I had already done my warning maneuver twice earlier, so I got irritated and started letting off the brake slightly every time he inched forward (note: each time, I was rolling back a few inches each time while he was rolling forward a few feet). Eventually, my hitch was inches from hitting his hood and he honked at me. The light turned green and I got out of my car and made the idiot back up so I could go without rolling back into him. This was on a one lane highway road with virtually no traffic at the time - I wouldn't have pulled this crap in traffic.
