I remember my first hill

kenchan · 04-08-2015, 04:06 PM

i think we all do..

kenchan · 04-08-2015, 04:21 PM

yah, i noticed this especially on expressways when i have my cruise set.

i wonder wat it feels like in san fransisco though... probably launch off the ground at every hill top. lol

RonRizz · 04-08-2015, 05:00 PM

they go slow up because they make up the time on the way back, going down.

DOOMMONKEY777 · 04-08-2015, 05:06 PM

Well this one is easy, ppl are just plain cheap on gas. (due to 1%)

They think going up the hill slower will save gasolina.

Yes!! That’s it… the drivers of other vehicles are actually SO obese that their cars are literally not powerful enough to propel their great density to greater altitude.

Gravity -- it sucks. Literally. It's physics.

Coming back from Publix, I saw a white Z and a slammed red BRZ parked next to each other outside the complex... Owners looked middle eastern/asian...

when i got home in the MT i stopped outsdie ran inside to open the garage then came back out. let's say i kept rolling backwards and stalling more than i'd like to count.

my parents thought i may have went for a drive again... no it was only 30 minutes of trying to get a hill start on my driveway.

apparently my launch or stall technique wasn't practical to creep into a garage!
