Don can drive stick!
 
well sorta. My step dad, lil bro and sis are in CT and my step dad said if I have to move his car move it.. he didnt really instruct me how. Except for like 2 years ago how to drive stick which was not for long. So I moved it .. I didnt stall and I shifted to like 2nd woot and no issues. I moved it once or twice in the last month but stalled it like crazy. I kinda like fartn around with a manual transmission. I feel more in control. I think I want a 4 speed ;)

Big D- Good for you, sticks can be fun they just require practice, practice and more practice. Learning a stick was a bugger for me but was great fun after i stopped stalling and poping the clutch.

Cool Don, they're fun.

Just don't drive a manny tranny with a hot cup o' coffee between your legs. :eek:

Does this mean you are ready to join the OM617 4-speed warning triangle club?

TheDon 05-28-2007 09:34 PM

if I could ever find a 4 speed and all the stuff to do it. Or I could actually get a VW TDI now since most of them are 5 speeds... nah

Cool! You're ready to try a '67 VW bus. :D

Better yet, three on a tree. :)

Now those are fun. I drove an old Ford van with that a few times.

I taught myself to drive a 4-speed. It only cost me one fender.

My kids are learning from the start on a 5-speed. Its tough, but I think they will be better drivers.
