I got my permit recently and I've gone driving out a couple times in the past week. It's really strange. Especially on a stick shift.
Pretty fun though.

I'll be 18 in about two weeks.
Judging by your post, I'd guess you're about...12? 13?

Sometimes when I take a piss it smells like Rice Krispies. That's weird.

thats cuz they soak the rice krispies in pee when they prepare them. then they box them up and ship them. i'm afraid if i told u why they snap crack and pop that might haunt ur nightmares so i'm not going to.

I'm finally not the youngest on here anymore... I didn't really have an insult planned, so you're in the clear. I guess I had to get over the initial surreality of driving because it's like "Whoa...I'M the one moving this car?" I'm also learning on a standard which is odd in its own right... And my piss smells like Cheerios in the shower. |

My aunt first taught me to drive on a standard. She was yelling and screaming the whole time. It was fun in the sense I was driving, but sucked in the sense I apparently was doing nothing right.
Standards are a pain in the ass anyway. Other than gas mileage, there's really no need to own one unless you relate shifting to masculinity while questioning your own. Modern automatics will beat a standard off the line every time.

Personally, I'd rather drive an automatic because it's easier. But the only reason I'm bothering to learn on a standard is because my mom is going to give me her current car for free while she gets a new one.
Sweet deal, eh?

personally i don't want to ever own an automatic... if you like driving i can't imagine why you wouldn't want to shift, unless you are driving in like downtown manhattan or something. i have an 18" black dildo for a shift knob so i really feel it when i "stick it in reverse"

Ive been driving since 96. Due to the economic status of my country, most of the cars here are on manual. Though technology has caught up with us and cars here are actually improving safety and road handling. I drive an Isuzu Fuego 4x2. Pea in size next to uh maybe lets say an F150, but bigger the most sedans that drives around the city. Im quite proud with my driving considering we have the most horrible drivers and driving conditions in the world.

I'd be curious how Boston drivers compare to The Phillipenes. Bostonians drive with two feet: One on the gas pedal, one on the horn. |

if you like driving i can't imagine why you wouldn't want to shift If you like eating, I can't imagine why you wouldn't want to use a salad fork. It's all preference, man. I'll take speed over absolute shifting control and focus my attention on other things like finding the apex around a curve or something. |

well when i'm the passenger in a standard car i look at the driver and i can't c y any1 would choose to shift every 2 seconds instead of just focusing on the petal. there fun to drive in though (i'm talking about being the passenger)

I drove something cool the other day. But it wasn't a car. It was a work barge with a seperate engine for a retractable deck, trolley pulley and winch. We had to fish up these cables attached to these huge spools, let it all out, then reattach it to the pulley and winch. Then we could reel it all in and lift these big ass concrete anchors of the bottom and then place them where we wanted them. Let the cable out again and wind it all up at the dock. I had never worked for a marina with a huge dock before, and this is how we move it. Pretty cool.
