they should make driving manual mandatory to passing your driving exam... that should weed out the lazy ones lol.

if this guy can do it in a gt500, no one should have an excuse... (donuts optional)


more gt500 goodness ...


try youtube for visual pointers. for example i googled this from jalopnik:

back in the day my first time learning stick shift i burned out the clutch on a classmate's 1976 civic. i can still remember the clutch smoke coming through the floor. good times.

practice someplace safe. i also used to spend a long time going around the sfu parking lots on weekends when there is no one around. i don't know what security is like these days but back then as long as you don't do anything stupid and don't hit anything or anyone they just let me do my own thing...
