No shame. Shit happens. lol

I have successfully started the BRZ in 3rd gear up a slight incline, after stalling twice and having my passenger look at me like I was retarded.

LOL.

I've never got 3rd to start off from a dead start. It just.. *glug* and stops. haha

sometimes i try to start too gently on an uphill and end up stalling

also when i park, sometimes i get distracted and drop the clutch thinking i've already turned off the car. Good thing my foot is on the brakes.

pfft I stall every once in awhile.

The difference between beginning manual driving and now is that I don't panic when I stall.

Before:
"OH SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT MUST START MUST START....everyones watching me being a nub...Shit shit shit!!!" End up fumbling the ignition and making it take longer to start than it should.

Now:
"aww dammit...I stalled...." just start er up and then go.

Stalled mine a couple days ago. At an intersection turning onto a packed highway. Somebody was kind enough to wave me into the line in front of them. Took me by surprise and bam, jerk, cough die.

This!

Coming home yesterday evening, I was pretty tired after 5 hours of vinyl striping and meatballs on a friend's BABE rally car.

Stopped at a light (turns out an Asphalt FR-S was right behind me in the next lane), yawning, and not sure what gear I was in, I quickly dropped the clutch and chirped quite a bit, without intending.

It happens, sorry if any of you all were the person driving their FR-S wondering who the heck can't drive a MT (been doing that since 1986).

i find myself almost stalling in traffic sometimes...ill see the led running lights turn off and back on in the reflection of the car in front of me.

the other day i parked, pulled the ebrake and let the clutch out. the car lurched forward and then i realized i forgot to turn it off.

I can go years without stalling and then I'll do it twice in the same month.

Just every now and then it happens. Been driving manual 14 years.

BTW, I find baby powder helps keep them from sticking... just sayin...

Yeah, but after a day at work it gets all bitty. Try Vaseline instead, it works better on babies, and adults to.

This is one of the very few things I miss from my Neon. I could put it in second gear, let the clutch out without touching the gas, and ease up a large incline. It made a slow part of my drive home much easier. Third gear starts were pretty easy to.

^ This!

I get really nervous on hills when someones gets right up on my ass. That's when I usually give it too much gas and tear outta there like a bat outta hell lol.
