When you aren't ready for it, its easy to make a fool of yourself at any stop light. Who's the moron that needs the beating for this More importantly HOW DO I TURN IT OFF?

When the clutch is in all the way and you're on an incline, you can take your foot off the brake and the car won't roll backwards. Basically it gives you time to move your right foot to the gas pedal without rolling backwards on a hill. I have mine adjusted to release the brakes just after releasing the clutch. They can be very nice if they're adjusted correctly. If you ever find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.

Yesterday, it saved me from rolling backwards into a '57 Chevy at a car show. He came right up to me on a dirt road hill. I was certain I'd spray rocks on his car, but nope.

I Hate Hill Start Assist. it messes me up all this info is in the owners manual and you can download it from the Dodge website for free It's got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas.

I have a couple times used the e-brake when at a stop on a steep hill when the next guy behind me has crawled up to within an inch of my bumper. Very rare that's needed but there have been a couple times...
