You owe Adam a dollar! :)
I have been engine braking since the day I started driving. Then I
started following the AudiWorld forums, where I learned that "brakes
were for stopping and the engine was for going." There were a lot of
anecdotes told.
Anyway, I am consciously readjusting to engine braking again after
reading this thread.

[OT OT] While I have the microphone, let me rant about automatic
transmissions: They are undrivable for me because they are not
responsive and because they never know that the imminent road condition
requires shifting down, now. Every time I have to drive an automatic I
have to try to soothe myself. :)
