A good way to learn the friction point of a clutch is to find some flat ground (somewhere you can practice and not worry about traffic or pedestrians) and come to a complete stop.

Put the car into first gear and without touching the accelerator or brake, very, very slowly bring the clutch pedal up. You’ll feel the engine begin to bog down the further the pedal comes off the floor. Push the clutch back down and repeat until you feel comfortable with where the clutch is “catching”.

Once you can reliably find this spot in the clutch pedal’s travel, begin adding in some throttle to help you take off a little quicker.

I’ve taught others to drive manual and this is a good way to build the muscle memory that helps when driving on the road so you don’t have to think about it.

Maybe that helps but either way good luck on your journey!

It’s me. I’m the turtle.

I don’t think Captain’s seats without a third row exists. There are some vehicles where the third row folds down into the floor and that might get you what you’re looking for.

My thoughts on what you listed: 4Runner is going to be the most Grand Cherokee-like with its truck-based underpinnings, but it won’t be cheap. Out of what you listed, it would arguably be the nicest / most well built of the bunch.

The Outback is going to be a bit longer / roomier than the Forester and will offer more cargo space. The Subarus and the Santa Fe will feel more car-like in their road manners given their underpinnings. For the Subarus, if you like power you’ll likely be disappointed with their base engines and may want to opt for a turbo option.

Maybe Cousins has finally shaken his curse of being an MNF choke artist. What a sweet drive.

“Type: Kaizo: Expert”

I’m assuming yes, based on that.

Very cool. Did you make this?

Right. There were just too many mistakes and miscues to be mad at one play not going right for them. It shouldn’t have came to that. Be mad at your lack of execution, not the refs.

Sure it was close but that toe was out. It was a hell of an effort by Likely but no cigar.

In all actuality, Lamarr should have hit a wide open Zay Flowers in the end zone the play before.

His voter base is convinced Musk is a super genius. They’ll see this as a brilliant move.

He’s so weirdly childish.

Yeah this is a weird one for sure. I hate to be a “nothing ever happens” person but this one didn’t happen like the caption says it did.

Intel’s slot CPU interface. Sure it cleaned up motherboard layouts but the need for more comprehensive cooling solutions that would soon follow made this a bad direction to go in.

Their target demographic doesn’t care about manuals. Their buyers either are most likely buying a status symbol and the ones who are actually looking to drive them are looking to emulate the F1 / IMSA experience where absolutely none of those cars are manuals

Garfield dropped some Tootsie rolls in the sand trap

That’s an '01-'07 Caravan. They definitely didn’t look like that 31 years ago.

Did you hear about the time she answered the iron?

Into the Breach is free if you have Netflix. I’m not sure if it’s for purchase otherwise but it’s a ton of fun.

Regular crime is way down. Is that true?

Maybe if he used AI, to write his post, he wouldn’t have, so many unnecessary commas.
