Driving Manual is such a pain

**Zipsnine** · 10-12-2009, 09:52 PM

Im just learning how to drive stick shift and i really need to learn it. I just bought myself a car after saving up a whole year. Its a 1998 ford mustang. And guess what? It's a manual transmission car. Which are so much fun to drive but such a pain to drive. Uggh. I hate it and love it.

**psychoangel691** · 10-12-2009, 09:58 PM

Are you kidding, I love driving manual. I'll take one over an auto any day.

**Zipsnine** · 10-12-2009, 10:00 PM

Hell yah. Auto sucks. You just sit there and turn the wheel. Manual is more interactive. And my mustang would not even sound good as and auto. Im just mad that i didnt grasp how to drive manual right away. I wanted to be flawless right away damnit. LOL

**psychoangel691** · 10-12-2009, 10:12 PM

Lol can't be perfect right from the start. I want to get a mustang. But mine will be a 71 mach one fastback.

I want a restoration project.

**Zipsnine** · 10-12-2009, 10:17 PM

Oooooh, sounds like a sweet deal. I like the newer models better though. Like the 1999-2004 are my favorites. They look so sexy. The only thing different with mine being a 98 is really the tailights are a little different and the headlights are more rounded than a 1999-2004. But i luv it

**psychoangel691** · 10-12-2009, 10:19 PM

Yea I know mustangs lol. I like some of the newer body styles as well. But I can not stand the fox bodies. I wouldn't take one if it was given to me lol. I used to drive my dad's around he had an 01. It was pretty nice but I love the classics. And I just noticed you're from PA too. Hi5

**EnR** · 10-12-2009, 10:20 PM

Yea well, be happy you even got your lisence, our Drive Test is on strike so nobody can get their G1, G2, M1, M2 or anything

**psychoangel691** · 10-12-2009, 10:23 PM

Damn that sucks

**Zipsnine** · 10-12-2009, 10:30 PM

OMG, PA? I sucks but whatever. Lol. And that really sucks. Ive got 18 days to learn how to drive my mustang. Cause i get my liscence on 10/30/09!!!!!!!!

The only hard part really is having to shift going up hill. I used to roll back a lot. I almost thought I was going to hit the car behind me. I'm so used to driving stick that I went start my mom's car and put my foot on the break thinking it was the clutch, and my foot on the accelerator thinking it was the break. lol

lol I got my license on Oct 16th 2002. I'm old

**Zipsnine** · 10-12-2009, 10:39 PM

Lol. Just a bit

I've also figured out that its impossible to get a girl if you dont have your liscence. Especially where i live. Its all sticks and leaves. So hell yah for my liscence.

**0MG** · 10-12-2009, 10:46 PM

I had the 2004 40th anniversary white mustang with no spoiler. i totalled it. it was a 5 speed, and i miss it so much

now ive got a 2005 toyota corolla xrs 6 speed. i cant drive auto either. dont worry, keep practicing. its just like riding a bike.

**Zipsnine** · 10-12-2009, 11:10 PM

Yah. Its like i know what im doing wrong, but its hard to correct myself when im doing it cause i get frustrated. When im not doing it i can correct myself.

Had one speeding ticket, one moving violation (citation), and one parking ticket in 5 years.

edit: I just got an idea.

**Zipsnine** · 10-12-2009, 11:21 PM

Wow in 5 years? Thats not too bad. I dont plan on getting any tickets. If i do my mom would probably take my liscence and burn it.XD

**0MG** · 10-12-2009, 11:43 PM

just be careful. and mustangs weren't meant for canyons. i learned that in the the adolescent and very hard way

Sullyman2007 · 10-12-2009, 11:47 PM

You'll get used to the "uh oh I'm gonna hit the care behind me" feeling. I used to get that feeling all the time, but with practice releasing your foot from the clutch and applying your other foot to the accelerator will become second nature.

I also used to hate driving manual, but after a while you will start to love it.

Necamus · 10-13-2009, 12:09 AM

You bought a manual transmission car before knowing how to drive stick.

Yes, this seems like a good idea.
