Vroom vroom!
I got my first lesson in driving a stick shift last night. Here’s how it went…
Patient Teacher: Now just ease up on the clutch.
(Car dies.)
Patient Teacher: Ok, let’s try it again. Remember you can’t let go of the clutch completely when you’re first pushing on the gas.
(Car sputters, lurches forward, makes us believe the car will explode and then dies.)
Patient Teacher: Lee, saying “vroom vroom” a lot and laying on the horn is not a good way to learn how to drive stick.
Three hours later…
I successfully shift from 1st gear to 2nd without making the car die. Immediately, three supermodels approach the car topless, ask for my phone number and where I got such a sweet 2000 Honda Insight from.
