I grew up in 2 different cutlass models, my mom got in a gnarly head on with a trash truck in north Philly in the eighties and had a 73 after that. Love those cars. I’m a sucker for car stories.Back in the Way late ‘80’s early like ‘91 I had a Oldsmobile cutlass that started out as an automatic. Somebody had put up Hearst four on the floor in it. I loved that car. I got pulled over everywhere I went.
Stubby screwdriver in the ignition to start it. Milk crate on the floor. Pushing that clutch was a bitch!
Not mine, but something close lol
I learned how to drive on a an F100, straight six, three on the tree!I’m a sucker for car stories
Now we’re talking, my first car was a ford fair lane with the wrong carburetor on it. Let’s just say it ran richI learned how to drive on a an F100, straight six, three on the tree!
It’s just an old bracket car, my inheritance, it means fucking everything to me though, my pop passed in 91, my uncle got to old to run it anymore, gets too hot for him in the spring and summer so after 40 years I took over. The car is a fucking riot to run. It’s been deep 9’s fastest I’ve gone is a 9.86 at 141 mph in the quarter, for a n/a 372 it’s fucking fast.That’s impressive as fuck!
My shit didn’t look anything like that!
Bring us along..,been a long winter and spring doesn’t seem interested.
Its very easy. Just get cheap beater 5 speed and teach yourself. I tried to have someone teach me and i kept fsiling time and time again. So then i decided to buy a 1999 subaru outback, it was 250 bucks, all it needed was tires and an alternator, i learned how to drive it, replaced the cclutchafter a year and drove it for another 2 years until i blew it up with 380k miles on it lol.And I'm gonna have to learn how to drive a stick. :(
Unless you’re driving in heavy traffic constantly.Got rid of my standard cars and now i regret it. Automatic is for the birds.
I teach family by telling, showing, and working the shifter if needed while telling them when to clutch. It’s just muscle memory and rhythm.Its very easy.

Sucks on a bike too! Heat wave and traffic =Unless you’re driving in heavy traffic constantly.
Beautiful whip right there…..dayum!I WANT......a '69 Mustang convertible.....
Maybe this summer, but probably next. And I'm gonna have to learn how to drive a stick. :(
But since we're showing off our cars... ;)
And some "diamonds". (Technically "sugar"). Good lord the things they're making these days.....
Yeah I figure it's best to let someone teach me, but also get/rent a not so new car and have at it. Even if I pay someone for a week or two driving course, but focus on just handling a stick, it'll be worth it. By the time I do get a '69 mustang......which of course must be red, a convertible/black top, because, duh..... ;).....I'll want to make sure I can handle it smoothly.I teach family by telling, showing, and working the shifter if needed while telling them when to clutch.

Only failed to teach one person. We don’t talk about it.
