Outlaw

Today, my dad was helping my fiancé and me move. On the way, someone sideswiped the trailer. When the police came, we found my dad had a suspended license, no insurance, and a broken tail light. No one else could drive a manual, so we were stuck in a parking lot for 3 hours. Thanks, dad. FML

You're fault, you should learn stick incase of emergencies like this.

How often do these things happen to people? Honestly? Usually one is sufficient. Know both? Kudos to you.

It didn't say OP didn't know how to drive, she just didn't know how to drive MANUAL. Read, please.

if you can't drive manual, iu can't drive. it doesn't matter, OP is female meaning she lacks coordination to do manual.

36. You my friend, are an ignorant ****. I love how you just assume women have no coordination to drive a clutch? What, you do think making your lazy ass a sandwich and cleaning up after you doesn't take coordination? Good luck ever finding a girlfriend buddy! I bet your mom is reeeeal proud!

Idiot. A lot of people overseas are used to driving stick.

Maybe he didn't know. Maybe you should learn to drive a manual....

I hope you made the most of the situation and broke out the grill and made some cheeseburgers and s'mores. No need to pop a blood vessel over things you can't control.

To drive a manual to turn on the car press the clutch to start and to shift up when rpm is between 3 or 4 to shift down press clutch until press gas wait for rpm to go down to shift. But German car u have to press brake turn on

26-Considering the was written AFTER the bad experience...this won't do much help. And I bet OP went to get formal driving lessons after that.

Driving a manual isn't hard, but these terrible instructions make it seem like it. These are like when you get something you have to build and the instructions were in Chinese and just got ran through a translator.

3 and 4?? Talk about over revving the shit out of your car. Between 2 and 3 is perfection.

Depends on the type of car you are driving. Some ppl prefer different rpm and smooth or rough shifting. Rev matching plays a small role in it

OP's dad clearly has a manual so OP could have learnt at any time beforehand

I just learned how to drive a stick not long ago. Harder than I thought it would be, but your dad could guide you while you learn. You were in a parking lot, so that would make it easier. Only need like 20 minutes for the basics and you can hit the road. Btw, been driving an automatic for 2-3 years so im not an amateur driver.

Every girl should know how to handle a stick shift. You'll never know when it will come in handy.
