Was I being followed on freeway?
So I was driving on the freeway at night. There was moderate traffic. I'm on the second to left lane not trying to pass anyone, and this car on my left (far left lane) was driving beside me. I noticed when it didn't move even though there were no cars in front of us. I'm thinking maybe we're just cruise controlling at the same speed?? So I accelerate a little bit, that car accelerates too. I slow down some, that car slows down too, then flashed its high beams a few times. Still side by side to this vehicle so now I'm getting irritated. Also concerned for safety, so I switch over to the right lane in between some other cars to slow down and try to shake off this car. It was successful. I was able to get some partial plates, but not before that car bugged out and hastily exited the freeway. But that left me wondering though... was this person following me? Just messing with me? Trying to get me to race? or maybe even try to line up a shot (yeah, worst thought right there). wth?

I recently bought a new car from an Arizona dealership and paid there states sales tax. I'm a California resident though and I've brought the car back with me to have it registered here in CA. I went to the DMV today and it turns out if I would've payed the sales tax for CA it would've been cheaper than what i already paid to AZ (damm, right?). I was just wondering if there is any way I can get reimbursed the difference I've already paid out and just go with my home state's sales tax.
4 AnswersUnited States9 years agoClutch and Brakes only in Stop & Go traffic?
Greetings, I drive to work every morning and there is always a lot of traffic getting in. At that point, driving the car can be a pain in the ****, having to constantly gas, clutch/brake, gas, clutch/brake...
But I've found it much less of a hassle if I put the car in 1st gear, slowly let off the clutch and hold at the sweet spot until the car starts moving on its own (not using the gas at all), then press the brakes to stop if necessary, while still holding the clutch at the spot, then release the brakes to start moving again (again no gas, as if you were driving an automatic).
Question is, is this bad for the clutch? Will it wear out sooner with this method?
