The Epic Fail Thread!

someone recently told me they payed an extra $300 - $400 for the optional hill-start assist.

I said mine came with that for free - ITS CALLED A HANDBRAKE

I did love that on my subaru except it'd intervene when reversing, which made reverse motokhana's frustrating.

But agree whole heartedly, learn to hill start, reverse park and generally drive a friggen a car. We'd all be safer for it.

I haven't used my handbrake for a hill start since I was on my L's! If you can't get going up a hill without using your handbrake you shouldn't be driving a manual.

These things are there to make the dumb people seem smart....People come to rely on these devices before trusting their own instincts....For example, parking sensors....

Another good example is advice given and taken on the internet.

A costly fail!





It really did happen, story here:-

Wouldn't like to be the person responsible for this one! Remind me not to stand to close to a 747 with the engines running.

x2.... Although the main reason I would used it was to not roll into some jerkoff that stops 30cm away from the back of you..

personally ive had 2 stuffups where i have put my foot down to hill start and my foot slipped off the excelerator, if i didnt have my hand bvrake on both would have resulted in pricey mistakes. hence i still use my hand brake.

I use my handbrake on steep hills, it is kinder to the clutch (i prefer them to last a long time )
