What is this , bottle rocket league ? <| sep |> Same with McLean , VA and the general vicinity . Seeing multiple Teslas in a short drive through the area is almost a promise . <| sep |> Wow , you ' ve driven a manual most of your life on hills , me too . You ' re not special , your not great at driving , you ' re clutch is probably roasted as fuck too . Steepest hill in San Francisco has a gradient of 31 . 5 %. From what I have found , the steepest grade in BC is 23 %, that sure makes 31 . 5 % look flat . I ' ve used the brake a hill maybe 34 times in my life , when it called for it and it worked great . I ' m also not a douche bag so I don ' t call people out for using effective tricks that can reduce clutch wear in extreme circumstances and prevent slight rollback that can lead to minor accidents if someone is on your ass on a steep hill . I thought people from Canada weren ' t douche bags , I mean , I know douche bags are everywhere , but I just gave you guys the benefit of the doubt . Maybe BC is the exception .
