HI GUYYYYYYYYYYYS
You've got some talented people in England then. American's are just stupid at pretty much everything. I know I don't want to drive and change my gears while on the phone since you know, I like to live.

Across the pond where you are manuals are much more common. Over here people seem to have difficulty even grasping the concept of shifting gears yourself, much less doing other shit at the same time.

The key is to steer with the legs.

Exactly. Been in a car withsomeone doing that at 60mph.
One with an engine and manual gearbox.

Yeah, might hit their adam's apples with the shifter
I haven't started driving yet, but I have a feeling that I'd like manual more, for the following reasons...
-It probably feels cool to do.
-It would make me a more aware, connected driver.
-And, if I'm accelerating really fast, I can control where to shift and stay in the power curve. Therefore I could probably take on some stupid kids in their daddy's Mustang.
I play too much Need for Speed.

I well understand that driving's not a video game.

Stalled at a busy three-way junction this one time. Well, to be more honest, I stalled nine times, this one time, at a busy threeway. :v

I can top that. I took my dads truck out for a joyride while he was away, and I stalled at a 4-way intersection at night. The problem was the key was broken in the ignition; it would still turn, but the little nub on the key-ring still had to be in there to turn it. When I stalled, the keys fell on the floor, and I couldn't figure out how to turn on the lights, so I had to search the floor for the keys, then find the nub, while trying to tell people at the intersection who were waiting for me to go ahead and go XD

My friend got a stick shift. After every intersection, he'd jam the car into high gear by accident. And when he didn't, we stalled in the middle of the intersection.
Basically, what I'm saying is, good luck.

What's really challenging is talking on the phone when you're stopped at an intersection, then accelerating and making a turn and keeping up with the conversation.

it smells like dust and moon light
Yeah the more you stall, the more nervous you get, which just leads to more stalling. :<
This one time like a week after I learned how to drive stick, I stalled 3 times making a left turn IN FRONT of an 18-wheeler before figuring out I was in 3rd gear. The guy didn't even bother honking, he just rolled his eyes. :V
Man your friend needs to practice more in empty parking lots before he even THINKS about taking his car on the street...

Don't use the phone while driving.

If you're willing to fucking race people like this on a real road then I fucking hope you never get your licence.
