Confessions of a 7AT Driver

beltonr · 05-30-2013, 04:21 PM

An advantage of age is not caring what other people think. Once upon a time I would have thought MT was the only way to go. Now, after 26 years in the Army and 35 years of running, 10 - 15 clutch depressions and my left knee starts to hurt. I'd hate to avoid driving my Z because it makes my knee hurt! Exactly why I went with the AT.

I'm just the opposite. I need the clutch to keep my left leg from going numb and then becoming painful (effects from a couple of surgeries).

or the brake light isn't on during a stop light (on a flat surface)

Whoever does this is an idiot IMO ! Its just asking for damage to the front end when you are rear ended by someone who doesn't notice that you are not moving.

I also love to see those same people waiting for oncoming traffic to make a turn, with their wheels already turned. Another disaster waiting to happen when they are rear ended and pushed into the oncoming traffic.

So we're idiots, yet the person who cannot tell when a car is stopped and rear-ends us is what? A genius?

Go troll elsewhere.

Everything without brake lights on is considered moving object thus you don't have to slow down your car!!

But I usually hit the brakes whenever the car is not moving anyways just in case some idiots thought I am moving and kiss my rear(yeah all kinds of people live on this planet you never know

).

I worry about that, very little, but it's there.

However, it's pointless to sit there on the brake. If someone is going to hit you, they're going to hit you.

If they can't tell the object in front of them is not moving, then their license needs revoking.

True. If a person is going to hit you then he/she probably wouldn't even notice if your brake lights are on or not.
