I practised shifting yesterday (yes, on my clown car). I don't really like 1st gear...

, but from 1st - 2nd, 2nd - 3rd, and 3rd - 4th is really easy, I can do it smoother than my mom, and downshifting is just as easy. But going from a stop into 1st....the engine likes to stall :wink:

. The first few times it stalled, I didn't even know it, it just does a little wiggle and dies. Actually, it takes a lot for it to stall, it's much more powerful than most cars. I went from a stop into 3rd gear by accident, and it went fine, actually, that was my best start, lol, in 3rd from stop! I'll be going out again in a few hours. I've been practising in an EMC parking lot near my house, huge parking lot, I can get up to 4th gear with ease. Yesterday, at first, I was doing pretty well into 1st, but as I went on, I began to suck, stall or buck around every time. I think it was because I was getting really tired, after 3 hours of shifting, my left leg was going to fall off. It's rested now, so I'll see if I can do better. I do reverse pretty easily too.

One thing I have to learn is the corners of the car, at first, I was driving with the right side of the car off the road, because I'm used to sitting on the passenger side, so I'll just have to get used to it on the left side. My dad wants to video tape me today, that'll be funny, he just bought a new camcorder (old school VHS). I have Monday off, so maybe I'll go out with my friend and his mom driving. Maybe I'll be able to drive their van (that's what he drives) on the real road, because it's an automatic. With my manual, I have to learn how to go first, lol!

Am I the only one worried about warren's "condition"(whatever that may be)?

driving is for chumps.

Condition? It was my first day, and I did much better than most people. If you mean condition as in obsession, then yes, I have a problem. :wink:

Well in fact, I got 2 "bicycles". One has a engine on the frame, and the other is a sweet black fully Shimano Deore XT-equiped Specialized M2 Stumpjumper (metal matrix frame) with Rockshox suspension and Mavic rims.
I have to agree with Paul AND Robby. Cages are for stiffs.

I'm in love :)
