Was finally able to get some time behind a manual car today. Asked one of the detectives if he's teach me so we went over to one of the commercial warehouses and drove around there and on the streets a bit.
Was pretty much the same experience I had 9 years ago the first time I tried. Getting going is always the hard part and after that it's smooth sailing. As I got used to the clutch, it got easier of course... That said, I'm not completely convinced I want to be driving manual all the time. It's nice to have the skills, for sure, but might not be my thing... at least not something I'd want to drive in every day on my way to work.
Either way, was glad I was able to do it. I've been aching to try again for a while now but haven't had the opportunity.
