So anyone heard of Wheelz?
Some people apparently have manual transmission cars listed!

I wonder if I should feel bad renting one, given that I am not totally familiar with driving stick although I have probably done more homework on manual transmissions than just about anyone Perhaps to be courteous I should practice with a simulator, so I remember to press the clutch in and not stall the engine all the time.

How long did it take you guys to pick up driving stick? I have good feet coordination thanks to piano, but am used to the press brake, press gas, press brake, of automatics.

I was okay after several hours...but didn't really feel comfortable until several weeks passed.

With that said, different cars will have different pick-up and engagement points so it's like a mini learning experience with each new manual for me.

I hate moving.

If graduation means progress, then being unemployed and moving back in with your parents must be progress as well.

Perhaps that standard is the very thing which makes it fit best in the Random thoughts thread.

hehe..
I was reading quotes on marriage yesterday. Was the best man in a wedding today, and was considering putting a quote in either a speech or in the gift card.
Did not use any quotes at all... Played it safe.

Tought it was funny! ...altough it is probably not for everyone..
