I’m practicing for my driving licence and I’m going to driving school, just out of curiosity though I’ve looking on YouTube how to start and run a car and I’ve seen at least 3 different methods, I dunno which one is the correct. Things like the order when you release a pedal or when you need to press the clutch keep switching…

    push down clutch pedal
    put car in fifth gear
    start the engine
    push down gas pedal until you hit the rev limiter
    slowly release the clutch until it smells right

      This right here it the proper way. Another trick is to wrap some bacon around your bell housing. When you can hear the bacon sizzle then you know you’re doing it right. The grease from the bacon also helps keep the clutch disk nice and lubricated.

        I think it is pretty entertaining because they said they were going to driving school, so why are they asking here, and they knew they would get text when what they really want is visual instruction.

        Presumably they could go watch YouTube or listen to their driving teacher, but they chose to post here, because I think they wanted to see what kind of nonsense would show up.
