If you read my post from Friday, you'd know that I drive my moms car to go to school and that she really wants it back. Well, in a desperate attempt to reclaim her car, we made a deal. My step dad has a white sunfire from around 2004. Its an okay car, it looks nice on the outside, I can't say the same for the inside though. The big problem for me is that it is a standard, and that I can't drive standard.
However, if I can successfully learn to drive standard in two weeks, she will give me the sunfire. As in, put the car in my name and have it for free, it will be MY car kind of deal. That sounds like a pretty sweet deal to me and I'm totally up for trying. I took the car out yesterday and successfully drove it around the reserve without stalling! However I did stop on the slightest inclination of a hill (it could hardly be called a hill) and even then I started rolling back! I'm not sure what you call it, but it started like shaking a few times to and I may not have stalled but there were some close calls.
I will keep practicing, because a free car is way to good of an offer to turn down. I just hope I can get good at a standard in two weeks. I don't think I made it clear how bad I am at standard, I am horrible at it. I would not trust my driving standard with Telesa in the car, its mainly a safety thing, and that its not. I'll keep you posted though.

You can do it! I drive a standard, and at first, I was terrified to drive it anywhere but around the block, and omg, hills were scary! But I got the hang of it, and now, I could never go back to an automatic! I even taught my step-daughter to drive in our car, and she went out and bought a standard, too! Keep practicing! A free car is a GOOD thing! :o)
Go girl go!
LoL I'm sure you can do it.
My car broke down and my friend leant me his when I moved for college and I had less than two days to learn!
I may have rolled it back in the coffeeshop drive thru (you couldn't even see there was a hill to look at it) a few times but once you get driving it you really get the hang of things.
Good luck!!!
I actually miss having a standard lol
