We started practicing driving a manual car in school. I never thought that pedaling the clutch and gas pedal alternately while maneuvering the steering wheel and looking where the car is going can be hard. The engine even died twice during my turn. Driving is such a multi-tasked task.

Oh, man, driver's ed was one of my biggest nightmares! I wish you the best. Manual transmission is something I never got the hang of either! Learning to drive a car

I bumped the marker sticks today when I tried driving the car in reverse. At least the engine didn't die anymore.

I learned to drive stick shift in my dad's truck, on a country road.. wayyyyyyyyyy back in the old days... where there were 2 cars on the road... all day.. that's it two cars..

my dad's truck was his pride and joy...... weel as I couldn't get the "hang" of downshifting... so when I turned into the driveway of our farm... I was going FAST..... barely made the turn.. all the time he was saying 'you know you have to slow down... slow down. slllloooowww down'...

it was the last time I got to drive his "pride and joy"

seriously..... later, I got a stick shift car and learned to down shift around corners and such... it just get's to be second nature...

all will be good Kourtnee...all will be good..
