Not only is that stupid and dangerous, as you've just seen, that's bad on the clutch. There's no reason to do that in a manual.Speaking of Audis, that reminded me of something I witnessed a few years back. I was sitting at a red light at an intersection with a notoriously long delay. In the lane next to me was an Audi coupe of some sort or another(don't recall the model). There were no cars behind either of us.
The Audi presumably had a manual transmission, and the driver would periodically pop the clutch, roll back a few hundred feet, then rev the engine like mad to pull up to the line at the light. I watched him do this 3 or 4 times.
I also saw a police office coming up the road, and he pulled into the lane behind Mr. Audi. I don't think he realized the cop was there, as he pulled the "roll back" stunt again only to find his rearward progress impeded by the push bar on the front of the Police Interceptor. Needless to say, the officer lit him up, at which point the light changed and I pulled away laughing.
I would have loved to have heard that conversation during that traffic stop.
Both of these words are considered highly offensive and not socially acceptable. The latter is a pejorative that refers to Asian people. It's the equivalent to the n-word for Blacks and the k-word for Jews. I know you revere your grandfathers wisdom, I respect that, but this is one area you do not want to emulate.
Nissan Rogues, hands down.
I think what it comes down to is the cheapest cars available are often what the younger drivers drive. The younger drivers are more immature, prone engage in riskier behavior, and undeveloped life skills (like planning to be places on time and then rushing to get there). As a result, these correlations are formed.

What's the K word? never knew jews had a slur and my grandpa to me the it was the BLACKS that wanted to be referred to as "the colored" or "people of colour".Both of these words are considered highly offensive and not socially acceptable.

You're 17?!
you seem WAY more mentally advanced.

So, I assume it is also normal for the car to pull to the left? (Spare is on front right side) Due to the fact the standard tyres take 32 psi and the spare takes 60 psi?
Probably stupid question but i know I ain't the only one to mention it, What if one were to buy 3 donut rims, have regular tyres mounted on the donut rims and use the donut wheels as regular wheels? The point of that question being asked by other people was that "thinner" tyres improve gas mileage. People answering such questions had a magnitude of answers. Some were, that donut rims are not constructed to be designed for use as a normal rim, some where that using donut tyres would make handeling more difficult. What's everyone else's take on that?
I meant putting a regular 125/95/R14 on (95 to make up the height difference) on to a Donut rim. Alos why are Donut spares 60 PSI? you would think being that much would blow the spare up (its smaller).
Terrible idea, besides the cost of 3 donuts would cost 3x as much as getting 1 new tire. And if donuts did increase mpg, it'd never be worth the money spent on rims to save money on gas (not considering faster tire wear and the fact you only drive 2k miles a year).
My friend is looking to buy a 2013 or 2014 model. Seems like a decent car, but has a few shortcomings. No rear vents, crappy CRV xfer case, not exactly amazing interior, etc. I've seen one up close but haven't driven one. I read Acura might be having with their new shock absorbers in 2013-present RDX, ILX, and I think RLX (maybe others too). I guess it's rattling noises, a harsh ride, and premature failure (replacements at 6-8k miles!). No solution offered by Acura/Honda yet despite 2-3 years of issues now. There's many concentrated complaints about this issue, but it doesn't appear overwhelming. I'm not sure what to make of it.
