I know every word to Dr. Dre’s Bitch Niggaz, but you have to be in my car to experience it. I’m not breaking that out at karaoke.
A real gangster takes care of themselves.

For those of you driving stick: Don't rest your hand on the stick, it wears out the synchro rings. Also when standing still, don't keep it in gear with the clutch pushed down, that wears out parts of the clutch assembly. Just put it in neutral and release the clutch.
I don't know if this is actually true, but my mechanic friends keep banging on about it. In my experience other parts of the car wear out much faster. And most people don't keep cars around more than 5 years. My own car is 11 years old and we have done SO many repairs on that thing. My girlfriend's car is over 30 years old tho, we've kept that thing in tip top condition. It's much simpler than my car so repairs are fast and cheap. It's a Toyota so it should be good for 20 years to come.
Another great way to preserve the life of your clutch is to walk to the store. ^_^
If you live within walking distance to a store, sure.
Yes, if you ever replace your clutch and forget to put in the clutch bearing, you can hear how much of a difference is made by touching any part of your transmission controls.
Also, be gentle with your clutch pedal. If you break your clutch fork, you'll possibly be unable to shift at all, or you'll only be able to engage the clutch by manually lifting the pedal with your foot. If this happens and you have an adjustable clutch, you'll find yourself shifting by navigating the longest clutch throw known to any consumer vehicle and end up with the world's beefiest left leg.
Spend some time getting the jist of clutchless shifting and you might be able to continue using your vehicle if the clutch fails (depending on how it fails). Just expect to have to replace your starter if you need to use it to get going from a stop and expect to grind your gears at least a bit.
I thought all modern cars disabled the starter unless the clutch is pressed.
Yes, but when my old sunfire's clutch went, it would still start when I pressed the clutch in, even though the pedal didn't do anything. The master cylinder cracked, so it wouldn't keep pressure to work against the springs pressing the clutch plates together.
The mechanism for that must have just been checking the position of the clutch pedal. If your car instead has a sensor right at the clutch plates, then it probably won't work, though you'll still be able to bump start it, as that bypasses the starter entirely. But you need either a hill (going down the same way you are) or people to give a push.
There is an electrical switch that checks the clutch pedal position. Similar to the switch in the brake pedal that operates the brake lights.
Yeah, so the pedal itself still worked, just the hydrolics it was supposed to drive had a leak and stopped moving.
How modern? I could roll start my 2012 WRX.
That's not using the starter, just need to set the key to on.
I hate Apple Music for switching from Drill to Classical. Like sure bro I like both but not back to Bach.
Spotify does it too and it's so fucking weird! Yes, clearly I wanted to follow up those twelve 90s grunge songs with a podcast about Kissinger's war crimes. What else would you have played next?
It really mixes music and podcasts in the same queue? That's psychotic
And I hate that I had to go set an option so that spotify didn't lock out other songs in my playlist based on the current song playing. If I put them both in my playlist and put it on shuffle, I want an equal chance to hear either or, even back to back when they are completely different.
The only messing around with random that I accept is avoiding a random sequence that replays recently heard songs (unless it's the same song in the list twice, in which case, treat it like a different song).
Jesus Christ...
I always get a chuckle when I'm listening to 2Pac on the train to work, because I am a nerdy white dude, and if people knew what I was listening to they'd laugh.
First off, how dare you
