Thanks, sounds like I just need to master the techniques and not worry so much. I don't mind working the clutch as long as it doesn't cost me money. I've actually been enjoying driving again for the first time in a long time. I do have a SG and I watch it closely. I've been mostly doing what you said already so maybe just need to keep practicing. I have a full grill block, insulated belly pan, hood and around a good portion of the engine bay. It's just with a 4 mile commute and a third to half of that in neutral, it doesn't run long enough. Do you shut the engine off when you're stuck inching along in traffic?
