I don't have a handbrake, and I live in the hill country.

Just get on the gas fast and pretend you're not ruining your clutch.

>>15454329
just hold it at the bitepoint for a second while you move your foot then go

>>15454237
you're not even driving. I have to DD an automagic and my friend's manual I'm learning on is just so much more fun and engaging to drive. Even if it is a bit more work and sort of stressful at times. It's fun. It's driving. That's why people like manual.

If you can't pull away from a stop in 3rd you picked the wrong car.

Yea that happens

To be fair, I've owned an aw11 for two years and I haven't crashed it yet.

Keyword is yet. I'm full aware that my death will be a firey, painful one in the driver's seat of this deathtrap.

You should find a nice expansive piece of tarmac and purposefully snap oversteer so you know what it starts to feel like. Then learn how to correct it.

>>15454433
Probably. I don't ever really push the old girl, but I'd like to know what to do when shit hits the fan.

Did this once in my truck. except i was parked in front of a fence and so i taco'd the fuck out of my front bumper. gave me an excuse to build a tube bumper.

Wow you suck. I once drove my car home in only 4th gear with no stalls.

>>15454692
Wow you suck. I once rode my bicycle home with only 1 pedal with no stopping.

>>15455291
Wow you suck. I once rode a bike that I made out of my Citroen 2CV in the middle of the desert to the closest civilization.

I once rolled my window up and nearly choked myself cause my head was sticking out.. wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have manual windows..

Bike stuck in 3rd
No fucking problem
