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.

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

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

Better yet, three on a tree.
