• Wanted to Start on a Steep Hill? We had a Tool for that: it was Called "Flooring the Gas while letting go off the Clutch"

IT AIN'T NO GOOD MORNIN' WITHOUT THE SMELL OF NICELY BURNED CLUTCH

We'd park my buddies Mustang on a hill wherever we went in case it wouldn't start. LOL, everyone made fun of him saying it was a Pinto. (<- it was this, but really, really shitty)

[–] thebigslime@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Ah the Mustang II. What a historically bad letdown.

I was going to say, I always had my e-brake on when I parked my car and so I always started the car with it on.

Does he mean slowly let off the clutch while releasing the e-brake? Does he put on his e-brake if he stops on a hill, in traffic too!

[–] Suck_on_my_Presence@lemmy.world 20 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I've had to use the ebrake method before for a hill that was wayyyy too steep and a fence gate closed behind me.

You basically just let off the clutch and press on the gas until the car wants to move forward, then you let off the e brake and go without going backwards.

[–] exasperation@lemm.ee 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

There are some steep stop sign intersections in San Francisco that I've had to use the e brake for.

[–] thebigslime@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Seattle, too. VW Vanagon Westphalia with the kitchenette and poptop. Heavy, gutless, and steep roads are a tricky combo.

[–] sartalon@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That's when you are supposed to use Mr_Mofu's technique!

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 days ago

that's mr mr.mofu to you, kind sir.

[–] jimmux@programming.dev 7 points 3 days ago

If you're on a steep hill, yes sometimes you need to use the handbrake to get moving. This had to be demonstrated when I got my licence, but to be fair some manual vehicles now have automatic hill start. Still a good technique to learn because it doesn't always activate.
