i cant drive auto anymore, i drove my parents minivan a couple months ago and almost broke my nose on the steeringwheel....
while driving down my street to the neighboors house to pick up my dad (he was hammed) i wasnt wearing my seat belt and went to push the clutch in so i could coast through a stop sign, but instead of a clutch pedal i hit one of those stupid double wide brake pedals and put my head right into the steering wheel... it sucked.... nevar again will i drive auto.... 5sp FTW |

all I read in there.
I kind of know how to do manual, but I'm bad at it, so i'll stick to auto/sport shift |

yeah traffic on a hill sucks. what even sucks more is that a lot of people here in the US, dont drive manual. so in traffic on a hill they are right on your bumper. i am always like wtf, please give me a little room to roll back on. |

when on a hill, you inevitably roll back a little during the time it takes for your foot to go from the brake to the clutch and to accellerate. depending on how good you are you roll back less, but you gotta have some room just for peace of mind.
my car is an auto diesel so it might as well be manual because im constantly playing with the gears to get it to shift the right way...
old cars ftw lol im always paying attention... |

this one time me and some friends were in SF(one of the many) and this guy rolled back and rested his ass end on the front end of the car behind him. he then proceeded to pull away. i laughed my ass off. |
