I find it very strange that americans dont learn how to drive a stick first.

I think any other country in the world, u NEED to know how to drive a standard manual car, and then u can choose whether u want to drive a stick or an auto car.

That's about all there is to it - if the engine asks you to upshift, do it; if it asks you to downshift, do it. Making it perfect comes naturally with practice.

Um, excuse me. CVT is actually an incredibly useful technology. It has nothing to do with shift shock being unpopular. In fact, the reason CVTs are being implemented is because theyre a lot more efficient. People are having a hard time adjusting to them because they LIKE the shift shock.

And, it was Nissan.

1. make sure you aren't experiencing a breakout so that you won't infect the poor chap.

2. don't bite too much.

3. don't grab it with your hand and smack it side to side inside your open mouth. it accomplishes nothing and makes you look inexperienced.

4. don't try take the whole thing down, it'll make you gag and look stupid.

once you are out of first gear then you are golden...

the rest are easy... that first step/ gear is adousey
