Took my car out for its springtime shakeout drive. Pretty excited to get some miles on it here in NY now that the weather is finally nice.

Its funny, I like traffic with a manual better than an automatic. I can just idle along, control speed almost fully with the gas. Play the game where I see if I can roll to a stop going up hill and apply brake just as I stop.
You’ve never driven in NY traffic I take it. It’s not fun in a 5-speed when you’re moving along for an hour at 5mph
Helps if you have lots of low end torque. I know my Scirocco 16V hated that low speed, but 2L Fiats you can drive almost without ever using the clutch, idling along.
