Learned at Skip Barber Driving School, was definitely rough on her. The guy didn't like me dumping the clutch north of 6K rpm either...

89 Subaru, 87 Bronco, and then my neons. The subaru was awesome. I wish I still had it for an autocross car.

Closest thing, never driven stick in a car.

 

[Ron Vogel]

'86 supra, although the one I drove was gunmetal grey with a light gray stripe...I just didn't have a pic of one.

 

[PANDA]

Driven other cars before the TA, but only very short distances and no real instruction.

My dad's 1964 Corvette: No power steering, no power-assisted clutch, no power brakes and four-drum brakes. For such a small car, it's a fucking tank.

Well i learned how to drive a tractor when i was 10 or so on my God Mothers Fathers farm. Looked like this and was such a blast.

Learned how to basically drive stick from a high school buddy in his jetta.

And finalized my smoothness on the SVO, which was tricky the first day because the clutch is weird.

x2 for a jetta.

No offense, but I hate the shifter in that car so much, and well, pretty much in all BMW manuals. One of the things they can't seem to get right. Hopefully there are some better shifter options out there through the aftermarket.

Now that it's broken in, it's much easier to use. It was very notchy at first, hard to even get it into 2nd gear.

A 1987 C2500 Chevy duely custom flat bed utility truck. Then a 2001 dakota, and then mom's 1978 vette once i turned 16. Gotta love dads

We would go for a cruise and then when we got out of town switched drivers. Mom didnt trust me until I was 18. Haha if she only knew.

Theres a 66 chevelle in the works... i just gotta finish restoring it...

Technically, it was an 04 Z06.....except I only backed it out of the garage and drove it around the block. That was fun

That I actually had some good practice on though, was a mid 90's Toyota Corolla that belongs to my mom's friend. They were both away at some conference over the summer and my mom drove, so the Corolla was parked at our house for the weekend. My dad and I took it out.

It was definitely a pain with no tach. Only stalled it once. I would've done loads better with a tach though!

 

[Burtonrider10022]

seriously? they make stick cars with no tach? wtf?

 

[Bob Kazamakis]
