Driving a manual transmission car...

[BUCASmoker]

I tried driving up my girlfriend's driveway... which happens to be a 45 degree long incline.

That was disastrous

Relax, listen to the car and let it happen. I seriously think you're over thinking it.

Learn to do heel-toe on the right foot for inclines.

My parents version of Driver's Ed for me....

Our driveway....then San Francisco.

I can drive a manual xmsn in ANY car nowadays.

And, isn't it a REQUIREMENT for a Man to be able to drive a stick???

Can you bring it to my neighborhood while you are practicing? I love the entertainment value of watching someone learn to drive a stick.

I learned it with three-on-a-tree in my grandfather's old truck on the farm. Those were the days, man.

oh man Riz...

I think my grandfather's was a 73 or 74 Chevy. As it got later in its years we'd be driving that thing down some old country roads and about every couple of miles it would slip out of third and start making this grinding noise. Of course Grandaddy never worried about getting it fixed, you'd just slam it back in gear and keep on trucking.
