I remember you going around saying you had an 08 Z... And you don't even know how to drive... 20 too... You sound like a complete douche/punk.

Answer this... Do you have spiked hair or wear tight, white, wife beaters?

I'm fortunate to buy one when I'm 18... I don't make 12 threads on asking singular questions. Your age tells me that you're still not completely mature in the head, and I also gather that by your threads and how you sound in each one. Do some research and don't make repetitive threads.

LOL, I stalled using this method when I was learning to drive. When you're starting on a hill, the trick is to be aware of where the engagement point is and as you're about to take your foot from the brake, raise the clutch to that point and steadily release it while giving a controlled amount of gas. I've always done it this way and I don't roll backwards an inch even on the steepest inclines.
