Don't get me started on what I do when I drive over 30mph. That's CRAZINESS, I tell you!

I'll stay in first until the rpms are going above 3,000rpms in a parking lot, then I'll shift to 2nd. I do a lot of coasting in neutral too to keep the sound down and keep from jerking around when parking. I park much smoother by throwing it into Neutral and whipping into a spot like a glove.

Ooooh! I have to try that technique. I've heard it helps train you to learn weight transfer and car balance. Combine that with heel-toeing and it's like your own mini-track day!

what about when you guys parallel?
do you guys just feather the clutch?
