Guys, I can drive standard now.
To anyone who learned how to drive on a Standard... well, frankly I'm in awe, and also this will probably sound pretty lame. (We don't do manual transmission in North America... at least, not most people. Most cars are automatic ^^; )
Disclaimer aside, my daddy has taught me how to drive Standard and tonight we went and practiced on hills - and I can now drive anywhere!
And it's getting kind of fun too - I used to hate driving, and driving Standard was scary on top on what was already stressful for me. But I'm growing to like it. :D
