Ahh, yes. I'm beginning to learn how to drive a car with a manual transmission.
What a pain. Some people make it look WAAAAAAY too easy. I got to the point where I drove in third gear last night. On my first night. Up shifting is easy. Getting a good start is a pain. Plus having to hold in that darn clutch pedal while stopped. It's a little annoying.
In case you're wondering what I'm learning on, it's my friends Geo Metro. With it's dinky 1.0L I3 engine. I still somehow managed to get the tires to squeal, too...
I heard it's easier to go from manual to automatic, the to go from automatic to manual

Oh god, my dad had a manual Geo Metro. That thing looked awesome, but...looks are deceiving. D:
Rattled like crazy, and somehow it destroyed a CD player after he installed it.
He installed it, put a CD in, and all of a sudden SMOKE EVERYWHERE

Yeah that might be what made it more difficult.
I've only driven automatics... until now.Quote from: Silverhawk79 on April 24, 2009, 11:48:17 AM

But yeah, that car was a piece of poop.
Though it did look pretty cool with a...what do you call it...front protector...thing...on it.
I dunno, they're black.
