I Don't know how to drive Manual **Need Help**

haha dont worry... i will see if my engineer can design some "crash safe bars" for your current ride.

acutally to be honest, you dont have to go out and buy a car, just search for driving school that teach manual driving. a few hundred bucks and you will be good to go...

They're performance clutches and you can do more damage to them than a normal car. I knew a guy who burned out his clutch sitting in traffic on the way from the dealership. He had about 20 miles on it.

The older manual cars are really better to learn on because you get more "feel" shifting through the gears. The newer cars are often squishy and you don't get a clear response that you're in the gate. I would suggest getting an older beater, learn off of it, then drive it in a lake.

See that's my point. Im new to this whole new thing. I dont really know about the transmmision between the STI Aand civic. That's why I was asking for help.

hell, you don't even know how to drive stick and you're already saying this...

Well, I do have some say so. Becuase I drove a ///E46 M3 with SMG. I know its not the same between transmission with E92 ///M and the E46 ///M. But most people would get any ///M with stick. And I want to learn.

Wow, nice. I shoulda thought of that. Thats a really good idea.

Most people probably got the e46 in SMG to be honest. The badge sold a lotta M3's to the public poseurs who probably don't know how to drive a stick.

I'm teaching my 14 Y/O cousin in my procede 335i and he's doing great. I like how it gives you 2 seconds before it starts to roll back.

Instead of spend a couple hundred on a beater honda, just spend it on a class and you can use THEIR stick car. At my place, they have stick mustangs

E92_335 · 10-02-2007, 08:20 PM

Yeah why the f*** have you had so many cars and you're only 18. That is what I call "spoiled."

You get what you want...

I wish everyone would drive stick, that way they are more involved in the driving process and not thinking about talking on cel-phon and putting on makeup and eating.
