I had a white camaro for a long time and I think that both are frustrating. The salt residue stands out way more on my Teggy, but the Camaro looked like instantly filthy after going past anything with a vague whiff of construction.

I think the only way you really mask dirtiness is with a mettalic-gray-adjacent color.

That was going to be my other choice this time around; or the lunar silver. This blue definately makes the salt and snow stand out thatā€™s for sure lol sheā€™s spotted in white as I type and she will be getting bi-daily rinses until spring. God bless touchless wash memberships

Itā€™s not you, itā€™s the car. Iā€™ve driven many manuals and this one is touchy, but I finally got it after just a few hundred miles. The newer Hondaā€™s have a higher engagement point so try depressing the clutch just 30% and slipping it as youā€™re easing into the throttle in third. U got this!

Imma give it a shot tomorrow! Thanks for the tip. That might be when I was able to get it buttery smooth is I was doing just that but not being entirely aware of the clutch pedal position.
Will this cause any long term excess wear on the clutch?

It shouldnā€™t cause enough excess wear that youā€™ll have to replace the clutch any sooner. I put on 100k miles on a lot of manual cars using this method (rev hang or not) and every time I trade in the car they ask ā€œwhen did you replace the clutch? Feels newā€. Slipping the clutch just helps drop the rpmā€™s smoother due to the rev hang.
