Because I don't drive my Box daily, I seem to kill the engine in 1st gear getting into my garage, which is up a small incline. Happens about once a month or so... and it only happens when I'm not thinking about what I'm doing.

This car doesn't seem to be one that is driven well on "driver auto pilot".

I always tell friends who drive my car (every time they drive it, not just the first time) that the engine will die if they don't give it a little more fuel on the takeoff than would be normally expected since they all learned to drive manual transmissions on rice burners.
