I've been behind a manual car (the 6) for 4 months or so now and I ran into a situation with some people I work with.
I took a few people out to lunch and as I am coming to a red light I go into neutral and just apply the brakes. A backseat driver starts saying "You're not going to down shift to a stop or anything". It was a gradual stop on level ground so i didn't feel the need to. Then another back seat driver chimes in and agrees with the first one. After they both said they rarely drive stick I threw their comments out the window, so this is why I'm coming to you guys.
I guess in my simple logic I'd rather put more wear on the brakes than clutch cause brake work is less expensive. Am I just being dumb ? If so someone please enlighten me.
This is why I've put up a poll.
