I prefer driving a stick now that I know how!
Chad & Bill like to use the e-break to prevent them from rolling back on a hill.

I'm going to have a total of 5 people teaching me how to drive standard. They all drive a little differently, so they want me to be able to get settled in & comfy in how I like to drive (without ruining the car lol).

They all told me that I'm going to blow the clutch by the end of the year. They said it happeneds to just about everyone, as new drivers put a lot of ware on the clutch.

Chad blew up Dee-Annes clutch a month ago... He hadn't driven a standard since his accident & messed up.. but her clutch was nearing death anyways (old), so he only had to pay for 1/2 the clutch (700.00!!!)...

My dad is super excited about me learning standard
