Hurray - I got my Yaris - Toyota Yaris Forums

Kioshi, if you are keeping the car still with the clutch and the engine is still running, you will be slipping it tremendously. This is one of the biggest causes of premature clutch wear (along with riding the clutch).
If you are waiting at an uphill stop sign and want to "scare" the person behind you for tailgating or pulling up too close, just have the handbrake up and show them some reverse lights.

I personally wouldn't do this, but rolling back and forth burning up the clutch and potentially hitting the car behind is much worse.
