You execute a flawless heel-tow downshift and your girlfriend doesn’t appreciate it.

I’ve watched this gif 40 times now. It’s mesmerizing

That feel when you perform a flawless automatic downshift and you don’t have a girlfriend :(

Ive done it in my ranger, but its incredibly cumbersome. The gas pedal is so much lower than the brake pedal

If there's ever a scenario where I have to downshift two gears that quickly in my Bug, I am dead nanoseconds later.

If you do it right, people won’t be sure you’ve done anything at all.

“Hey, did you feel that?”

“no”

“exactly”

It’s an education problem. Sign her up for a 3 day high performance driving course at the regional track. *Then* there will be appreciation (and maybe some sex when alls said and done. *he mused hopefully*)

I bet he wasn’t granny-shifting, either.

I don’t think I’ve seen someone ACTUALLY use their heel and toes to hell-toe a downshift before. I always do left side of foot/right side of foot.

My gf doesn’t even understand why you need to rev match certain downshifts. I told her “you know when you kick down and your car lurches violently sometimes... That’s why.”

If done correctly, she shouldn’t even notice it.

Damn. I have no response to that.

My feet are far too narrow for me to reliably do that. I keep my toe on the brake and tap the gas with my heel.

I wish we had a ‘regional track’. As it is the nearest track is at least 4 hours drive away and they don’t really have anything approaching track days.

Back in the 80’s, Sears Point was 3 hours away from us, and I just got a hotel in Napa, left the wife-to-be touring the wineries/etc. and did the course. Major fun since every aspect was outside my normal rut of behavior.
