I'm willing to admit that I have no idea how to do this either. Please try to step by step me through this process.

Bent vales and burnt clutches, just say no to engine braking on some cars (like vintage 911's).

You must drive one of those fancy modern cars less than 25 years old.

Vintage does have it's drawbacks, but makes life more interesting too.
