c-walk Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 my dad taught me on a 25 ton dump truck... 3 gears to get up to 10mph, and good fuck the clutch was so hard to push down. it made driving compact cars so much easier though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadpig Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 speaking of Cuba, this thread reminds me of that movie, "Boyz N Da Hood". :D i am currently driving a stick shift. i learned how to drive a stick when i was in my late teens. my cousin had an old Ford Escort with a fucked up clutch. he was trying to sell it to me for like $450 but i didn't know how to drive it. so he taught me. i ended up paying him $200 cash and letting him take a grip of clothes from a store i worked at. heh! my first time driving a car was when i was 12. i borrowed my grandmas station wagon to cruise around the block and almost hit a tree. luckily my dad and my uncle stopped me before i did. roadpig oner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~KRYLON2~ Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 my first car was a jeep, no power steering, and no hydraulic clutch. it was a pain in the ass at first becuse it was heavy with a lil 4 banger. after a day in a parking lot i finally got the hang of it. now i can drive anything with 4 wheels.
