What?? Everyone doesn't do this on their spridgets?  Actually I rarely 
double clutch a shift except in rare situations, but I downshift virtually 
every gear every time.  Am I wearing out my clutch and gearbox prematurely? 
Don't bother answering this rhetorical question because I'll keep doing it 
anyway cause it sounds cool.  Maybe thats why my brakes last so long.
