Oh it was embarrassing how many times I stalled that Sonoma at one point I think I stalled 10 times in a row trying to pull into a gas station

I exaggerate my stopping distance on an incline. Then I barely let in the clutch, while giving it almost no gas, and my car just creeps up the hill. After thatm I let the clutch out and my car rolls back. I keep my car "rocking" back & forth on the hill and people get the hint.

Plus it's fun.

Plus it wears my clutch way way faster.

lol ya super steep hill starts SUCK! lmao, theres only one hill around here with lights that must use the ebrake, this hills like 40degrees and always packed!

but for most hill starts I just mash the gas for a split second and drop the clutch, a little bit of chrip but it works, but you gotta be crazy fast

that's exactly what I worry about lol, especially cause there are a lot of hills where I live. luckily, it hasn't happened yet. I tried to avoid hills during rush hour when I was first learning and went out at night so that there are fewer cars and fewer chances to roll back into a car haha
