Today, I was reading over the manual for my standard car. Somewhere in the manual I read that you should not rest your foot on the clutch pedal. The thing is, I do that but im not sure to what extent.( I don't actively pay attention to what im doing with my foot while driving)

For me, it feels uncomfortable to have my left foot off to the side. If i need to quickly come to a stop or shift gears quickly, I dont feel at home going the extra 3 inches to the right(to the clutch).

My questions to you are:
Is this riding the clutch?
Where do you keep your left foot?

Thanks

If you were looking for a pre 1981 car or truck that is good on gas and fun to drive what would you look at? I thought about a bug and even found a datsun. I ride motorcycles but looking for something that is before emmisions around here and fun to drive. I am open to all kind of car ideas that fit into this and would be cheap.

I'm including myself, by the way. Just today I witnessed a bad wreck caused by a gal running a red light, but it could have been prevented if the guy who got hit would have just looked both ways and saw her coming like I did. Just two days ago, less than a mile away, the exact same thing happened, only that time a cop got hit by a drunk driver running a red light, the drunk was killed, the cop is pretty messed up. Not to excuse drunks and red light runners, but both wrecks may have been prevented by a little more defensive driving and a quick glance left and right before hitting the gas. Instead, four cars are totaled, three people are injured, one is dead, all in a span of 48 hours.

This is a terribly dorky odd question, but I thought I'd ask for opinions. I've been thinking about getting a personalized license plate, but here's the thing: there are no special characters allowed on California plates. What I want really needs a period/dot to "work". Do you think I could get away with just putting a little dot sticker on my license plate? It wouldn't touch or cover any number/letter. I certainly don't want to be pulled over because I've "defaced my plate" or some such crap, though I couldn't find anything about it online, other than that the plate needs to be mounted properly and fully visible, which it would be. Is that asking for trouble and taking a chance, or do the cops have better things to do than worry about a dot on a license plate? :^)

I know that sometimes, a tuned, free-flowing exhaust can sound powerful and can help performance, but they are engineered by professionals and are compatible with the vehicle's engine, computerized calibration, and meet all city, county, and state regulations. But these buzz-saws that are cruizing around town sound ridiculous and don't do anything useful whatsoever, and just make me want to throw a brick thru the windshield. Why do people do this?

I've spent many hours over the past few weeks looking for a site that had detailed blueprints, or detailed technical drawings of automobiles, in addition to the written specifications. I have only been able to find very limited information. Mostly just simple line drawings which don't offer any useful information about the engine, transmission, suspension, brakes, etc. I tried looking for technical manuals, but only a few I saw cover specific models. I would appreciate any info you might have. Thanks.

I know that the Audi has very expensive maintenance but do they also have very expensive performance parts too? I wanted to buy either a JDM car or an Audi. Are JDM performance parts cheaper then Audi's. I was looking at a variety of perf. parts for the S4 and there were VERY expensive. Most were in the thousands $$$. I want to modify my car to about 400HP without spending over $5k a year. But i definitely can't afford the ones for the S4. So my question is...are JDM performance parts cheaper than the ones for Audi's? Please ask me any questions if you need me to clarify anything.

A bunch of driver's stopped and some even went to the side of the rode when an ambulance was coming but it was on the opposite of the rode where the traffic is going the other way. There's even one of those street separators with grass inbetween that side of the street going that way and the side of the street we were on. Why were the cars on our side stop? I hope this is not a sign of respect because this is not the time or the place to be trying to show respect? People are in there cars and expect to keep moving. What ever happens with that ambulance on that side of the street is not going to affect us on this side of the street, If by some long shot, that ambulance could get his truck over a small curb with grass to get to our side of the street, his truck would be damaged.

11 mths old, problem since purchase. Accelerate from stop position to 50 km per hour and car is in 6th gear; then coast to slow down to 35km/hr. If then want to increase speed slowly, say to 40km/hr, no downshift occurs to 5th or other gear and straining unnatural noise is heard till get back to 45 km/hr. Car always stays in 6th throughout. After 15 minutes, car warms up and transmission is normal. That is, it will drive and accelerate at even 30 km/hr and smoothly, although with little torque but no abnormal straining noise. It should downshift automatically at such low speeds when accelerating.

My boyfriend of 8 years is buying a car. The loan will be in his name only. But, the car is intended for me (he already has a manual transmission, this car is an automatic and I don't know how to drive stick shift.) He wants to know if I want to put my name on the title too. My name will most likely be added to his insurance policy.

What are the practical implications and legal implications of putting my name on the title when it's not on the loan? Any good reasons not to put my name on the title?

We just bought a new car and the highway mpg was estimated at 34. I've read reviews of people getting even higher. However, our mpg over Christmas driving (about 900 miles), was disappointing at 29 mpg. Now I speed so would driving 75-80 as opposed to 60-65 really cut my mileage by 5 mpg? Anything else I can try to increase my mpg?
