Ya i plan on getting a real class to teach me too but i want to familiarize myself with the transmission first. Today we went out for about 2 hours, got the basics down. Drove around my neighborhood ( a big oval with about 5 stop signs and a HUGE hill) about 15 times, then we went out on the main road, went to CVS then came back home because its about to pour. Overall I think it went extremely well, stalled the car 3 times =( but once was going through the guard gate I kept it in first and had the clutch depressed until she asked for id (cousins car so no sticker) and I decided to take my foot off the cluth (DUMASS) but drove off perfectly fine after that. Very happy with day 1! =)
