I think the embarrassing part is that he couldn't afford an automatic transmission

>late at night
>rural road, 50 mph speed limit
>minivan in front of me, just cruising
>straight section of road
>decide to pass him for no particular reason
>drop second, signal and begin passing
>fuel cut in second, shift to third
>miss-shift back to first right next to him
>shamefully get into correct gear and speed away
>catch up with traffic, can't get further away from van
>he just high beams me for the next 10 miles

Stupid games, stupid prizes.

>we pull a few vehicles out front every morning to kind of show them off, lots of muscle cars, super cars, lifted trucks.
>last summer we had a Hayabusa that we did a turbo kit on, so that would go out front most days

are you the anon who just bought a Miata and just learned to drive stick?

Been driving stick for 3 years, and very rarely do I stall. But it happens, oh well.

Mate the volume up button was stuck down on the steering wheel, meaning that if I turned the radio down with the knob it just turned back up

You fucked up, but goddamn I hate how you can basically expect people to be completely oblivious to their surroundings like that.

I once stalled at an uphill stop sign when I was on a date & there was a qt in my car. She didn't know/care what happened
