I understood the concept of switching gears, but I just couldn't get the hang of it, with the timing of the clutch and constantly switching gears and going in reverse and all of that.... too much to think about.
So, okay, I rented a stick shift Mustang for two weeks. It was a nightmare! I just couldn't get the hang of getting out of first gear and into second gear..... which proved dangerous while on the freeway (speed limit 65 mph) and stuck in first gear. When I pulled into a 7-11 store that was up a drive way, well of course there I gooooo, rolling backward.... about to crash into who knows who or what.
Needless to say, since I couldn't barely get out of 1st gear, I hardly drove anywhere during those 2 weeks. Couldn't wait to get my automatic car back and I never drove a stick shift again.
