Oh this is gonna be good. Now kick the fennic. It's how you check a car. Kicking the tires.

I think Wadi is pretty valuable 😊

wait... what do you mean the clutch and the gas move opposite?! They should not move at all at the same time. Depending on the car we have here (it seems like about the time the clutch was moved from being a lever at the steering wheel to being one of the pedals) you should still use the same foot for clutch and gas so that you never risk pressing them at the same time unless you are doing something really super weird like trying to go uphill in mud/snow with a 1WD (or any non-4WD car without a properly designed differential) and even in that situation pressing clutch and gas at the same time is still probably going to just result in a burnt clutch (which is only slightly better than the car stalling and dying, because those old cars there weighted twice what cars weigh nowadays, so getting them out of that is a mess for anybody who is going to have to take you out of there). Still if you live in an hilly place with lots of "forced light offroadin" and 💩y weather i recommend packing a wheel winch, so you can get yourself out of really bad messes. Though that almost only works if your car is a FWD, or you are beyond "very good" with a RWD. https://www.bushwinch.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/514406963_24491585850448540_6689420092602403516_n.jpg

Wait Fennic is a tire brand? I knew Fenner and Fenix, as tire brands, never heard of Fennic

My dad would always kick the tire. Specifically the fronts. I asked why as a kid. He said it wasn't to check the tire. It was to make sure the wheel bearings and steering gear were still tight and not worn out. A time when grease fittings were the norm.😁

Let the clutch out as you give it gas. A finely tuned skill that few nowadays have learned. I learned on a three speed Plymouth Valiant 1965 model. Learned going up hill from a stop. Eventually conquering the twin sticks of heavy trucks like the Diamond Rio and Mack heavy trucks which required mastering double clutching and rpm management.

I remember reading a story where a guy bought a new Dodge Hellcat. Drove it off the lot promptly losing control and totaling the car a few hundred yards down the street.

Accelerator and brake are under right foot. Clutch is under left foot. Ease up on the clutch as you press the gas, and let up on gas when you press the clutch to shift. Also press the clutch when you let go of gas to step on brake (otherwise you'll stall the engine, by decelerating while it is in gear.) Clutch is up when gas is down, and vice versa. They move opposite to each other. I learned on a manual shift and drove one for a couple of years before all the cars became automatic and my left foot has nothing to do when I drive.

A dance only a few have experienced. I own two Subarus. Both stick shift.
