This is what driving a manual in a traffic jam feels like.

That made me laugh, +2 worthless points to you sir. That's what it feels like in a truck or Geo. Most cars you can just stay in one gear. It's the clutch that wears ya out.

If you think a manual car in traffic is bad, you obviously haven't done a motorcycle in traffic where you aren't allowed to lane split...

I wish I could move through that many gears. I didn't leave first gear for half an hour this morning, then I didn't get to go over 30 for the next hour...

Pretty sure I wore through my whole clutch today. Thunderstorms apparently make people crash.

Edit: Also, that guy's left leg ain't moving. That's the only part of me that moves in traffic...

Looking at this makes my left butt cheek hurt.

Here in CA, we are blessed with legal lane splitting....it is terrifying however, so I try to avoid doing it in all but the slowest of traffic.

Can be easily alleviated if you're cool enough to have a 4wd with transfer case*. Gives you a lot lower set of ratios to crawl in, and allows you to rev to control and scare other drivers without going fast.

*poster not responsible for tire scrub or axles sheared doing this

Maybe he's heel-toe-ing it.

heel-toeing the clutch? I'm impressed.

I have the lightest clutch in the world, so it's not too bad for me. I like to leave it in first as long as possible so people can hear my displeasure with the situation though.
