This. I don't see anything remotely malicious here. I see a service tech who isn't very good at driving a manual stalling it out and having trouble getting it going and an owner looking for content to post on tiktok."Dropping the clutch" when I grew up was always revving the engine and side stepping the clutch pedal with intent of spinning the tires or to launch the car from a stand still.
All I see is some inexperienced tech who can't drive stick and can't keep his mouth shut.
I don't see him doing something malicious like said in article or video.
