Frustration ...
 

hey guys,

I've been loving my 04 986S like there is no tomorrow. I got pissed tonight though because I only use the handbrake where I park, there is never a need to have the 1st gear on because I never park on hills etc.

Well today I did have to park on a hill and I did engage the first gear before shutting down the engine. When I had to leave I turn on the engine but I am used to disengage the clutch and the car did a huge crunk noise and went a bit front and stalled but it was really loud and hard.

Very annoying and I Hope I did not damage anything.

No damage would have been. You're not the first guy to have jerked forward accidentally like that. [I'm being sarcastic: EVERYONE'S done that at one point or another.]

Thanks for making me feel better! :cheers:

You can rest assured that ALOT of us have killed the engine pulling out uphill. I haven't in my Boxster,but I havent pulled out on a hill before. I have done it on other manuals rest assured. Its just embarrasing thats all.

people who drive "other cars" love to see this kinda stuff. you made somebody's day

Try stalling out at a light next to a beautiful woman.... That'll turn ya RED!

My driving skills are perfect and I have never had that problem.

Ya sure looked RED.....

Ok, you caught me. I kill it about once a week.

I hope that I never stall on a date,thats with the Boxster of course.

blinkwatt and Rail I have stalled both on a date and in the Box...one was embaressing and the other was devastating! At 59 years of age I'm sure you can guess which is which!

I have stalled mine 4 times since I got it (Purchased Feb 2006). The last time I did it I was turning down a street and a few people were around so I drifted to the side of the street and pretended I was parking!
:rolleyes:

Sort of like when a cat crashes into something and walks away with the look, "I meant to do that!"
