Working A Stick

I used to drive a 5-speed, but now I only have one speed, and I avoid steep inclines...

Paulina...is this prehistoric enough? The bottom one is my new car!

If yours looks like this, can I take it out for a spin? (Serously, am glad you're ok!)

Thank God your ok Baby

I love sticks, but they can be a pain in the rear during high volume traffic. :-) You might find it challenging going up and down while trying to handle the stick and be careful cause a stick can get slippery when it's wet. Also, I understand it's kinda awkward when the stick gets stuck. Anyone ever have that happen?

Seriously, glad to know you're ok. Enjoy your new car!

Sweetest ride ever!

Im glad you are okay.

Driving a stick can get you into some trouble with speeding, ahehehe. Be careful out there honey.

Congrats on getting a car.

PS If im drunk and need a ride, im sooooooo calling you. ...wink

I am glad you are okay. I still don't know how to drive a stick! lol Originally Posted by Reese Foster

The worst part of owning a stick shift automobile is they are really hard to get some head in!!

Girlie, I knew you would be a natural with manual transmission considering the myriad of skills demonstrated whilst operating my shifter. . .

i was wondering if anyone was going to ask if it was a 3-on-a-tree or 4-on-the-four or 5-stayin'-alive or 6-pick-up-sticks!! :^) the first car i ever drove was a Toyopet 3-on-a-tree!! [practice only, not old enough for a license at that time] [toyopet was fore-runner of toyota]

seriously, paulina, i am very glad that you are physically ok. as you found out, you can always get another car. and glad that you've figured out the left foot/right foot/right hand shindig!! now onto power shifting!!

<----- Will give stick shift driving lessons for sex! When i got my first license, if an automatic was used for the road test, you were issued a restricted license, (automatic transmission only.) State of Michigan

Some guys I know have cars that you shift like a manual but it's still really an automatic. I try not to laugh when they "shift" like they really have a manual transmission. They're so cute..cute..but sad, lol!

I waited until my 30s to learn to drive a stick shift. The loss was mine.

But man does it suck in bad traffic....

LOL girl ... if that is not one open-ended statement just meant for a smart-ass response, I never saw one Glad you had fun on your trip!!! And if you want to learn to drive a stick ... or just "ride" one ... let me know (guess I'm the first of the smart asses) Originally Posted by ftworthmale

Lol...I may take you up on that offer. I am not very coordinated...you have been warned!

Most importantly you're OK, vehicles are easier to repair/replace than people.

Standard transmissions, fun to drive......................... meh maybe.

I've had both and certainly don't intend to go standard again unless a performance sport car falls in my lap.

An albatross when it's time for another vehicle............you bet!

Count on at least $500.00 less trade value for the average car with a standard transmission as compared to the identical condition vehicle with an automatic.

More economical, slightly........with a skilled operator at the wheel, most people using them are not.

For those of you who could not get a hold of me this weekend, I must apologize. I had a bit of a car situation; to make a long story short, the car was totaled!

I am fine...

I decided to get another economical car (hobby car). It's a standard and I did not know how to drive standard before yesterday.
After surviving some angry fellow drivers and vicious curves, I am very proud to announce that I am standard transmission driver. Ever since I watched the "To Fast and Furious" movie, I've been wanting to learn.

I am so happy!!! I'm like a teenage kid again. You remember when you wanted to find any excuse to drive even if it meant running errands for your parents?

Again, sorry if I did not get back to you till today.

Muitos beijos,
