Went off the road for the first time last Nov.
Hey guys, been really busy with work and school. On Nov 22nd I was driving into work in the early morning, left extra early and was going pretty slow because freezing rain had just started.

Re: How much damage do these beginner mistakes cause?
I wouldn't be trying to "dump the clutch" yet.... you are still learning. Also a huge tip for you: Don't look at the tach while you are learning, don't worry about getting exact rpms. This will become a big crutch for you to the point where you relying on the tach to be able to shift. I do...

Re: Best learner MT
I agree, just get a car that will be cheap to maintain and has a nice feeling clutch.. I would say one that isn't too stiff and not too soft. Something in between is better. Remember if you are going to be teaching people how to drive a manual, the no gas launch is your best friend! The method that ...

Re: How to transition car back into gear from slow rolling?
I personally wouldn't go into second at 5 mph... I would use first and ease it back in with a little gas kind of like when you are taking off from a stop, only you are already moving. It takes a little practice, but you will get it!

Re: Post your Current mileage
I've never had a tach... I learned by feel and sound. I don't really ever want a tach either.

Re: Misc Thread VI: Return of the Threadi
Moofasa, aren't you the one that has told me about the DuckDuckGo search engine? The new iOS 8 update allows that as one of the default search engines for safari on the iPhone. Didn't you say it uses google's search results but without the tracking, basically? Or am I thinking of another one? I may...
