I agree here.  Someone standing outside the car while you do this
would notice the wheels turn more slowly when you engage, yet the
engine maintains the same RPM.  In real life this would not happen or
the car would thrust the occupants forward as it rapidly decelerates.
Put the wheels on the ground so they spin with a constant velocity,
and the other end (motor) turns more slowly when you engage, leaving
the occupants stationary to enjoy greater fuel economy.
