I drove a stick shift

I drove a stick shift.


...and i stalled like 7 million times. (okay, more like 7 or so)





thank you to my cousin, Shelby, who was so kind to spontaneously want to teach me.

We drove to a church parking lot after my wards Christmas party and she trusted me with her mini cooper. (awesome car).

First gear= fail!

i always stalled!! but it was fun once i got going and got to switch to second.

point is, i LEARNED THE BASICS and now i can be less jealous of all the girls who drive stick.

why?

cause i think girls that drive stick are hott...and i want to be a hott girl :)

haha YAY ME i drove a stick shift!

  1. Driving stick shift is fun once you get the hang of it! Although I still prefer automatic. It's so much easier. When I first moved to New Zealand I had never driven a stick shift before. I was using my cousin's car since he was on his mission. Of course it had to be a stick shift. I got to learn how to drive a stick shift while also learning how to drive on the other side of the road. That was definitely an adventure!! haha.

  2. Congratulations on driving a stick shift! :)
    In Germany, you always learn to drive a stick shift in driving school. I had major problems at first, but once you've gotten used to it it's super easy.
