yesterday josh drove me to an empty parking lot and taught me how to handel his stick. shift. his car, his stick shift honda car. it was cool, but tricky. i stalled out three times and only managed to move forward about ten feet. we didn't have much time, so we'll go again sometime. it would be cool if i could say i can drive a stick.

I had a crapload of respect for you already.

But it's just tripled after reading that.

Out of about 15 friends of mine that don't know how to drive manual (ten of them being male), you're the only one I know who's taken steps towards learning...be proud of that.

I tried to learn

...and failed

...I left the parking break on

...twice.

Well, I give mad props to you too, then sir...

I did the same thing in a Viper SRT-10 two years back. Surprisingly, though, I was still able to move the car from a parked spot to the staging area before I realized that.

I think it had more to do with the 600 someodd ft-lbs of torque that V-10 delivers than my clutchwork, though...
