Post good car feels
>first time you downshift so smoothly you'd think the transmission was automatic
>that satisfying feeling when you spend hours wrenching on your car and when you go to start it everything works with no problems
>when you wash your car and stand back and admire how nice it looks
>when you're out driving late at night on country or mountain roads and there's no one in sight so you put down your windows, blast your tunes and floor it
>the warm embrace of the summer air as you drive down the mountain during sunset
>Small, usually busy roundabout near to my house
>Occasionally is empty
>Accelerate hard into it
>Trail brake throughout the turn (wrong wheel drive lol) and play on the limit of the squealing tires
>Feel the car rotate, perfectly balanced
>Straighten the car in the end to correct the mild oversteer
>HNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGG
>when you clutch in and put the car in reverse and are met with the grinding of straight cut gears
>>14142261
>friends in car
>first in line at a stop light leading onto the highway
>light turns green
>fuck it. 0-60 run as fast as I can to get up to speed quickly despite the 1/2 mile of room before needing to get up to speed.
>8 seconds later
>"Is your car an automatic? Those were the smoothest gear changes I've ever felt."
>a full tank
>shift into 3rd
>car lugging
>floor it all the way to redline
>dat sound
>When you time your speed perfectly into the red light to keep your momentum as it turns green
>when you forget to put the clutch in and force the shifter into the next gear
>sequential shifting
>backing up in my catless suburban and smelling the sweet half burned gas like a race track
I can't be the only one that enjoys this, right?
>>14142261
> when you finish wrenching on your car
That fucking feel is like better than sex. When you fix a part that has been bugging you (e.g. Tune up. Warped rotors, rough idle, noisy shit etc) and when you go and try it out you fixed the problem first try.

>so smoothly you'd think the transmission was automatic
So, an ungodly loud CLUNK, the car lurching forward, the engine racing for the redline, and suddenly lacking power when you wanted it?
>car mildly bunny-hopping during hard-accelerating gearchanges because it's powerful and just wants to go fast
