I agree, not only does it give the driver a much better understanding of how a car works, but what if there was an emergency and the only car available was a stick? I know it's a bit of a stretch, but it could happen.

I'm not very proactive about asking anymore as he reminded me.

I also think there comes a point in learning to drive stick where a teacher is no longer a benefit. Once you know the basics you should go to a parking lot by yourself and figure it out. There is a feel to it that someone can't teach you from the passenger seat.

Oh man. Sorry about that...

Yeah I know how to drive in theory, 'practice' in GT5, but the car isn't mine and I wouldn't feel comfortable enough to drive it to a location to practice. We were supposed to take it out today, but I got caught up watching the Olympics.

I got my FR-S two weeks ago. Ordered it three weeks before that.

No wait on mine. Searched 5 states for three days and had someone back out of a deal in Indy and grabbed it up.

Toyobaru808 · 08-05-2012, 10:51 PM

From the day I put my deposit to the day I drove it home, 28 days... Suckas
