ok, and while im having a blonde moment today (as many of you read), i did remember to ask this. what is a good launching rpm for normal everyday driving. it started snowing today, and i dont want to be spinning my tires this winter, so what is a good rpm? also, whats the right rpm for going 60 mph in 5th gear? mines at 3k...which seems high, but my gas miles is still pretty good. just wondering of thats correct, and what i can do about it if its not?

yeah, im kinda getting the hang of it. everyone says im doing really good for teaching myself how to drive a stick. it doesnt help that i have low profile street tires on my car....but cant afford new ones right now, so theyre staying on for the winter. the roads i drive get plowed right away though, so its not too bad, but my car already "bottoms out" on the snow on my driveway cuz its like 5 inches deep. i can see where my under body has been dragging on it. id be scared to see it with a kit, although i wouldnt have to plow the driveway then....
