personally i don't care for stalling the car
to me the bigger tool is the owner who drove his gt2 to the mall and gave it to the valet to get it seen
totally not what the gt2 is intended for imo

I used to Valet back in the day, and I noticed that a good deal of the guys with higher-performance cars like a modded GT2 were always pretty cool about this sort of stuff - they'd usually toss me the keys, and say something like "be careful, she's a mean bitch" or something along those lines. I'd never stall them, though.

One thing that always surprised me was how easy the clutches in 911's are. Those are such a breeze to drive.

Pulling an Alzilla
Bahahaha


To be fair that hill Alex stalled on isn't easy. Its not even close to flat and I would bet if some of you guys were handed the keys to a cgt for the first time you'd be a touch nervous as well.

Alex you nevermind them. They are jealous

Its my cgt that had to suck up the pain

We are just giving Alex a hard time. I for one have been driving stick almost 10 years and I bet I would have stalled also. On top of being a difficult clutch the nervousness I'm sure didn't help.

+1 just an overplayed joke. No harm intended

I stall cars sometimes when I valet. Mostly because I'm not paying attention. Not a big deal.

I was very jealous of Alex when I saw pics of him behind the wheel of the CGT.

After months and months of stomach-sinking reminders ... not so sure.

If I pulled an Alzilla, I'd probably have to kill all witnesses. All.
