A nice clutch-kick can be fun, though

Didn't know it was bad to lug the engine though. Yes, I understand the gearing disadvantage and poor gas mileage. But if you're not looking to accelerate fast, is it really hurting anything? If so, what specifically?

I like my exhaust note when I roll into the throttle pretty heavy around 2K RPMs. I'm not going WOT or anything, but I am deliberately giving it more throttle than is necessary.

always wondered about that... I do that too... maybe going like cruising in a gear then add gas because deep growl vroom.

Sure it's bad... do it enough and you'll wear out your clutch prematurely. One stall isn't going to cause much wear. But it'll add up over time.

Same with holding your hand on the shifter in between shifts for a few seconds. That few seconds isn't going to cause much wear either. But it adds up a lot quicker when you rest your hand on the shifter constantly.
