    I’m assuming it was in gear and lurched forward when it stalled? Idk I park in neutral as long as it’s flat.

    In an auto, you can park, let off all the pedals, hang out and turn off the engine at any time

    In a manual, if you’re trying to turn it off in gear, you have to wait for the engine to turn off entirely. At target, I I clutched out at the same time I turned off the car. The car had some revs as it died and with me clutching out, it went forward

    In my garage, I clutched in to turn on the car. In an auto, you hit the brake to start (or I do anyway out of habit for keyless) and then you can let off. In a manual, if you clutch in to start, you have to move to neutral before letting out the clutch. I just went into automatic mode. I had my car parked in first and forgot, so when I clutched out to pick my music on my phone before I head out, I basically clutch kicked idle in first while in my garage.

    I’m sure these feel obvious but as someone who’s been grown into a family of automagics, these are habits I have to drop. I’m the first in my bloodline to care at all about driving. A lot of these issues I talk about with my mom and she even says “oh, I totally forgot it was like that!” She’s itching for me to break the clutch in as she lightly regrets getting her 4 series in an automatic. She’s had it for 4 months or so and now that she’s in a “drivers car,” she’s itching for a third pedal.

    Doesn’t mean you should follow their lead. Would you rather have your brakes hold the weight of the car, or your transmission?

    There is something about seeing people park in a parking lot and having their cars lurch back and forth after putting in park and not using the parking brake properly that makes my skin crawl!

    No, but my point is literally nobody does things the “right” way with cars. Not even the mechanics.

    Yeah, it’s a shame. My girlfriend drives me up the wall the way she leaves her a/c running constantly.

    That’s exactly the kind of thing I’m taking about.

    Always running the AC is weird to some people like us. To the other 99.9%, it’s normal.

    And car engineers know this and design the cars to work that way.

    hahaha. I'm one of those that run the AC consistently. Even when I have the heater going, my AC is on. I'll gladly eat the 1 mpg penalty for the the dehumidifying effects of AC.

    Having lived in SE Asia when I was young, I think I have PTSD about humidity. Hot and dry, like Vegas or Phoenix, no problem. Warm and humid, no thanks. Hot and humid, hell no.

    I also run the AC all the time. If I have the heater going without it, then the windows get all fogged up, especially if you have more people in the car.
