my house is at the top of a 2 mile hill. I pull out my driveway accelerate to 20mph and coast all the way down if I'm lucky the next two lights are green and I can coast onto the highway ramp just hitting 45 at the bottom. bumpstart and give it 10mph to merge and I'm good.

I also have to drive back up the hill when I go home but at least the engine is warm. I have considered parking on the shoulder on the other side of the street and just pushing the clutch to start rolling.

not sure the neighbors would like that tho
