Now I get it. Finally understand why people say "I feel like I have more control over the car".

Freaking leg hurts though lol

Why are you awake?

My neighbor has a WRX! Should go ask if he wouldn't mind letting me putter around the block...

Wasn't used to how sensitive the gas pedal was compared to the clutch so I kept revving the engine to like 5k when I was trying to get the balancing act down. The freakin' engagement point was hard to find also, took a while.

Temporarily becoming a daywalker to get ready for the weekend long roadtrip around the PNW. Doing a 1200 mile trek and driving about 7-10 hours/day so don't want to be tired the whole time.

Well, all us Bay Area peeps will love to see you and make fun of your pitiful transmission and weak left leg.

And your pale skin and abnormally large right arm.
