Behold! The single greatest gif known to man!

I will assume you are being sarcastic

Sorry.

Note the exhaust puffs from McQueen double-declutching his upshift.

You kids and your goofballs or whatever it is you take these days.

Oh goody. Another GIF thread?

Why would he double clutch upshift a mustang?

In reply to Kenny_McCormic:

Because he learned to drive correctly

because the 'stang was not up to the abuse, so double clutching helped it survive the abuse.

the Charger was, of course, fine. :)

it was also semi-sentient in that it tried to avoid the garage in order to save its own life.

I came here expecting boobs.

Never expect boobs. Then when they are there it's a pleasant surprise.

It's the Spanish Boobs you should never expect

That is quite possibly the best advice I've ever read anywhere, anytime ever. You, sir, have just won the internets.

In reply to G_Body_Man:

That was awful...

Suprise! (Bad sarcasm)

He's double clutching like he's sposta because he's not granny shiftin'.

bath salts

That's a great one, but I used to have a long gif of Rockatansky closing the door, firing up the yellow Interceptor, and doing a looooooooong burnout off the shoulder of the road, all shot from the vicinity of the right rear corner of the exhaust pipe. I lost it in a drive failure and have never been able to find it again.

Bollocks, one of these is surely the greatest

I didn't know toploaders had glass synchros and shift forks.

Because Toploaders shift like poo, and the setting of the story had McQueen's character as a not-terribly-well-off cop. He had dinged up, no frills Mustang, lived in a crappy one-room apartment, etc. It fits the narrative that he would be extra precautious.

Also, it sounds cool.
