These last 15 hours have really been rather interesting

fwiw, I’d say Subarus are the HARDEST clutch to learn.

I learned when I was 16 with my permit on a beat ass jeep wrangler which had a bad 3rd gear syncro in cozumel mexico.

I then learned it again on a rock hard 2002 wrx. My first 50 miles of the drive was spent at clifton hill, you learn real fast there.

good luck to the kid.

You’ll see younger kids buying wrx/sti/evos now as the prices are coming down every few months.

i never thought driving manual was hard…

my first year behind the wheel w/ a permit i was driving my dad’s manual F150.

also, stis are not expensive cars. especially used stis

I bought a new truck when I was 18 and learned to drive manual on the way home from the stealership.

Woody was laughing at my stalling/burnouts all the way home.

word… first manual i ever drove was my 96 240sx drove it home from the purchase… i had a few disco party starts but don’t think i stalled it even once?

and yea… 20k is like, less than a new civic, who cares :stuck_out_tongue: it’s an sti the transmissions are rock solid and shift nicely, if anything he will learn faster and better on that (all though the clutch engagement is obv. faster than on a 60 ft/lbs honda)

I learned how to drive on a manual car. My family only had one a/t car and that was mom’s lexus. Not a chance I was learning how to drive a car in that thing(woulda been nice). A lot of stalls at traffic lights sweating it out. My first car was an a/t though.

5 speed Pathfinder broke my cherry

I picked up on manual rather quickly. It was fun. I’m sure i wasn’t the best but i didn’t roast anything.

that’s like me, my first brand new car was also a manual, 96 grand am gt. The sales guy handed me the keys and shook my hand, then I asked him to show me how to drive stick. That clutch lasted the whole time I had the car like 60k miles.

I didnt mean to come off as saying it’s not possible to earn $20k at age 20. I just don’t think it a wise idea to spend that much money on a car at that age.

I guess I am wrong? I don’t claim to know everything.

This just isnt my week.

Its not wise to have a GTZ either.

wow, thanks for the life lesson. Know anyone else who is stupid enough to buy a car that costs less than most peoples yearly depreciation on their car, so I can unload this crappy investment?

You remind me of Violator a year ago… Soo easy to bait out and get into an arguement

That was you? Everything makes sense now.

1ST time i drove manual…I was 12. Pops MADE me move his truck. Faught him to the death about doing. Wanted me to back it up, and almost wiped out the whole back end into a 100’ pine tree behind the house. Freaked out, jumped out of the truck and ran into the woods.

yeah, like I said, its been a crappy week for me. Been sick lately and just in a shitty mood.

haha, what’s that supposed to mean?

Well I always wondered who bought the car then almost immediately put it into a tree.

I don’t have my story straight but in my head its “toolbag buys InnTune’s WRX and crashes it on the way home”.

Nah, I bought it, drove it for 4months, deer ran infront of me late at night, i swerved and put it into a ditch,then into a wall.

I’m in no way shape or form a tool.

Lol of the day

my nyspeed personality has nothing to do with how I am IRL, but I could care less what you think as you just generally suck, cock bullet

Well for your sake let’s hope so. What’s a cock bullet?
