First, I learned how to drive a manual car.
I'm wondering if when you are at a red light, should you put the car in neutral and only have your right foot on the brake? Or have the clutch pedal depressed and have it in first gear?
Also, I was just looking at a Bring A Trailer auction and in the comments they talked about the idea that a person should NOT drive with your hand resting on the gear shift. Some people said pre-mature wear, and others said it's a myth.
What do you think?
We were wanting a golf cart for down here at the beach but ended up buying a jeep instead. It's a two door manual. Much more fun than a golf cart.
I was driving it today and wondered about these questions.
The Jeep has auto stop/start, but it's only activated if the car is in neutral and you aren't touching the clutch pedal. I thought that was interesting.
Also when parked, do you leave the car in gear -OR- leave it in neutral and use the emergency brake? (That is what I do.)
