One Hell of a weekend

every car has a certain rpm that matches a certain gear. for instance. lets say you're going 20 MPH coasting out of gear. you should be able to rev the engine to about 3000 or so (whatever the RPM match is for 20mph and second gear) and slip the car right into gear.
i didnt really thing it worked til i did it in my turbo just to see what would happen. you have to have the rpms just right, and the speed just right for the certain gear, but it just slips in there as if you had the clutch pushed in.

My grandfather, being a former pro race driver, taught me this the weekend I got my permit. He has 250k miles on his current clutch, 'cause he never uses it.

Does life exist at -75. I'm from miami were the temp is usually 80 to 92 degrees. When your in 40 degree temp it just feels damn cold. Hell its like a rich man who becomes poor they usually go insane. But a poor man that become rich and poor again there like what ever. Same with this weather I never been in like 40 degree temps so im going to cry like a baby.
