[QUOTE="breadbooze, post: 198206, member: 4476"] 1- adjust your mirrors based on the visibility you need. I like to adjust the larger mirrors such that I get 1/3 vertical coverage of the vehicle, and the horizon is 2/3 up the mirror. As for the smaller mirrors, low enough to get the blind spot of the larger mirror and a piece of the bottom rear. 2- every sup is going to get you for "clutch roll", it happened to me and every driver that came before/after me. There are two ways, the way the sup taught me is to let the clutch out just enough for the engine to catch it, then gas. The way I was taught (when I learned to drive) and do it with my personal car is to use the hand/e-brake. Sups don't want you to use that method as not all parking brakes work in all package cars. 3- I have never met a 800 with a 5th gear (nor does it matter since you probably wont be going fast enough to use one). And I have almost never used 1st gear save for some steep inclines and parking. Starting off everyone uses 2nd gear, though I would ask your sup if that's okay (my test sup did not have an issue with it). HTH [/QUOTE]
