I have four days to learn how to drive a stick shift.
This would not be a problem if 1) I lived somewhere where people had stick shift cars 2) The people I actually know with stick shift cars would never just let me borrow it to practice on because it costs more than all of my organs 3) EUROPE REALIZED HOW SILLY THEY ARE.
Which brings me to a major issue. I’ve thought of calling driving schools, posting on craigslist ( THAT WAS A TERRIBLE IDEA- ” Girl wants to learn how to drive a stick”), and just plain NOT learning it, and then being really embarrassing when I actually have to drive this car in four days. In France. At a wedding. In front of dudes. Who are cute. And have jobs.
I watched a bunch of youtube videos about how to do it, so technically I would be an expert. But the videos are really just douché guys showing off their sports cars. And not being helpful to me.
Now I don’t want to hear any bologna about how it’s more fuel efficient, and is better for the engine. Pah! You have to use two feet! That really cuts down on the ability to change my shoes while driving. I don’t know what i’m going to do, because all the advice I’ve gotten has been people just saying ” It’s easy!”. Thanks dude, that was helpful.
Sorry, I’ve dranken too much coffee again and may not be making sense
