shiftin with a stick
The 1988 Honda Accord that has been in my family for my whole life, is winding down to the end of its life. It's decaying like rust is going out of style and, well, the blue smoke rising from under the hood after every time you park it speaks for itself. It has over 300,000 KM under its belts, so prety much, it does'nt owe us a thing...except, for me to learn how to drive standard on it. Today I went out with my dad in it and staled it a grand total of 7 times over a span of about 2 hours. In retrospect that sounds realy bad....but I assure you that I caught on realy fast and that My Dad seemed prety surprised that I was doing as well as I was. I allways get the impresion that he's come to not expect very much from me like he thinks Im lame, or a dullard or something... Anyways, point of this post is: I can drive standard now, and my G2 test has been scheduled for the 19 of August, all in all, my...uh...transportation life? is picking up speed.
