Learning how to drive stick

[SexyStang1994]

Funny stuff!!

Kyle has been making me drive his car lately and it's been so hilarious. I used to drive my ex-bestfriend's hyundai (4 cyl.) often without any problems, but a king cobra clutch is nothing like that!! It's been like basically re-learning how to drive stick. My calf muscle hurts too lol! But hey, it was worth it cause I'm getting good!!

I just taught my wife a few weeks ago, she got the hang of it pretty quick. the downside is, now if i turn my back to long my car is gone

I learned driving stick mainly because of my friend. His sister had a jetta and we took it around the block. I got the hang of it but wasnt all that confident. Then I would practice moving a 1950 packard we had with a column shifter up and down the driveway, that thing had a very very heavy clutch. But I would say most of my stick driving has been through my friend and his car or his relatives cars. Oh yeah and test drives.

My girl friend claims she can drive a stick too... But the few times I let her try she stalled everytime she went to take off, and everytime she shifted she made the car jerk really bad

i have taught a few girls how to drive my car... sad part is they never learned, i guess girls should just stop driving and give up :X

I've heard mustang clutches are a bit stiffer and therefore harder to learn on..My friends usually have a bit of trouble adapting to it.. but.. then again I've never driven another manual besides my own?

It's easy just step on the gas till it revs up to 5g's then let the clutch go and hold on

I learned how to drive a manual on a 1985 Honda Accord. Oh, yeah. It was parked at a lot where I was a valet when I was 16, and I taught myself while the guy and his date ate dinner. I fried his clutch. Ahhhhh! The summer of '91.

I taught Laura to drive my car before we went shopping for her stang. I think it took around 8 hours of total driving around town before the had it down. It was pretty funny at first though. I still need to teach her the art of spinning donuts in the grociery store parking lot.

On another note, I drove my brother's Nissan 240 yesterday to Checker to get my rotors turned. It was wierd cause I could push the clutch with my toe really easily. I like our heavy clutches.

Haha exactly! The clutch on the hyundai I used to drive was like a feather compared to this king cobra clutch lmao! Once you feel where it grabs, you got it made. However, my first couple of times I chirped the tires all the way to second lmao!!!

My current GF used to date a kid that had one of those never should have been made 4 cyl foxes... so she assumed that she knew how to drive a stick. Needless to say mine was a little bit different and I swear to god she took 5000 miles off my tires in about 1/2 and hour.

I really enjoyed it for two reasons though, 1 - it made her really happy and 2 - I knew mine was much bigger then her ex-boyfriends...

yea, my first car was a 1986 acura legend and the clutch was much lighter on that, the stang took getting used to, I stalled out the first few times I drove it. I tried to teach my ex-gf to drive the acura when we were 16, and she got the feet thing down, but I guess wasnt co-ordinated enough to steer and move the shifter at the same time. haha I know maybe three girls that can drive a stick. they require a man's touch. haha
