C' mon now, dont try and tell four wheelers 1st gear in a car is like granny in a truck, you know thats BS. Granny gear is for starting out in bad weather with heavy load, 1st gear in a car is not . Im sorry, but I dont beleive in starting a car in any gear other than first, if you start in second, you will more than likely ride the clutch to get going, as when starting out in a truck with a heavy load and using higher gear.
This is just my opinion, BTW thought you were full time cop, now you drive trucks too____________WOW
