 Well Jilly, I'm glad I'm not the only one! ;D Nicole, you are young enough to learn it pretty well, I'm sure! I never even tried to drive one until I was in my mid twenties so I was set in my ways already. Of course my mom learned to drive on a stick shift, but still never was very good at it.

I have tried many times to learn as well. My dh bought a new car with stick not knowing how. by the end of the week he was a pro. he can pretty much drive anything now. he says the key to learning is just doing it.

Lol, is it learning to use foot pressure on the clutch or the hand shifting that gave you the most issues?

It was clutch coordination that got me down. I was unable to get the knack for releasing pressure on the clutch at the correct speed to keep the stupid car from stalling...lol. Finally I just said to hell with it! That's why they make cars of the automatic variety! |

Lol, some people are just never meant to do some things.  Like I was never meant to be a tall person. (Clearly obvious by my 5'1" stature) |

Ah yeah neither did I. You grew after you had kids? That's weird. Feet getting bigger I know about, mine got somewhat bigger.  Hair changes I know about, but I've never heard of growing taller. Gee I wouldn't mind another inch, wouldn't have to take my pants up then. |

The only thing that grew after I had kids was my boobs and my waistline! |

Lol, I looked it up on the internet, and the trunk space is almost 15 cubic feet! That's a lot! I could fit a bed in there, with a little mini stove and have me a camp out! Plus a little space heater...  I have a trailor that pulls behind my Harley...Its got 21 CF of space...... Mine is identical to the black one shown..It also has a cooler on the front for those hot days.....LOL www.bushtec.com/roadstar-07.html |
