you don't have to stop to put the car in first, but you shouldn't be going very fast either.

1999 C5 sadly!!! Every girl and guy thinks he's the shit, but I think he's a dumb ass. He already killed his Cavaliar and now the Vette's tranny. He spends $$$ doing interior mods but has already failed inspection a couple of times because he thinks buying tires is stupid. The state of PA impounded his car because he didn't have insurance and his car wasn't inspected. Now he wants to make his Vette drivable in snow, well its gonna give me another good reason to laugh at him.

Give me his address. I will give that C5 the loving home it deserves, away from his sphere of influence. :squint:

You are supposed to stop to hit first?
Does that apply to our cars too?

Read up about manual transmissions, most newbie drivers tend to kill their transmissions because they don't do that. The only time you should shift into first when you are moving is when you are climbing a very steep hill.

So if I am declerating to a stop and I hit first at 10 mph for compression braking it is bad? Why exactly is it bad?

It pains me when I see idiots with their fancy cars. Guy I know revs his car before he shuts it down. All that unspent fuel in the fuel lines. :wtc: People never getting their cars washed or serviced. There are people who drive around with dead bugs all over their back window inside their car. Some people I know have never changed their oil or done any regular maintenance, when the car acts up they just blame the car and buy a brand new one.
