*facepalm*

So I just had my first go at trying to drive a stick shift. I need to learn really really well by two weeks from now, since I'm supposed to drive myself back to school (four hours!) in this car.

It went okay, but by the end there was a lovely burned-something smell coming from the engine. Oops?

How about everyone shares their horrifying first-time-driving-stick stories so I feel better, mkay?

You mean like manual cars? I've never driven anything else.

I had issues with my mum's new car though. It liked to stay in first gear a little longer than our old one. So I'd be in second and it'd yell at me and slow down and I'd be like *accelerates* and it'd be like STOP THIS YOU CRAZY BITCH and then I figured out not to move up to second so soon.

The car keeps saying STOP THIS YOU CRAZY BITCH in various ways - it's less than fun! *pouts* I hope I'll get the hang of it!

You absolutely will :) it'll become so natural to you much sooner than you'll expect, I promise :)
