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?

Oops - I hope he was ok! I think I need to get my dad in the car with me, get him to teach me. My mom was doing okay, but she kept forgetting important things like needing to keep the clutch on if you stop while in gear. Stuff like that :P My dad taught me to drive an automatic, he's a great teacher, so hopefully I'll do better with him.
