Right? You're just working the pedal however depending on the circumstances. What's wrong is discouraging experimentation by saying some technique is wrong.

Knee is for steering, you need your hands for holding the beer and the phone. Right foot gas left foot brake.

If you are not sure what you do while shifting then you have beat the hardest part. Anybody that know exactly what the y are doing is still concentrating on it and have not mastered it.

Your shifts and feet are fine or I would have yelled at you when we were headed into town.

I was out thrift shopping and found the top half of a rolltop desk for $20. I chopped it up and made it into the booze cabinet. Im happy with how it turned out.

Haha, I wasn't so serious that I'd been doing something wrong. But thanks for the affirmation.
