If you want to save the gear box and clutch, put it in neutral and use the brakes when slowing or stopping as brakes are cheaper than a clutch.
Keeping aware of developing traffic movement ahead of you and slowing rather than breaking at the last minute saves gas, brakes, clutch and gearbox. It also may prevent someone running into your rear end.
Where in the world did this rant come from?
Somehow, I doubt anyone actually double clutches their Crossfire, and I doubt most people on here have actually owned a car that required double clutching in the past 30 years that wasn't a tractor trailer.
