ya i have never driven a manual before picking this car up from the lot. (i bought it when i was still overseas). that was a fun drive home. i love tolet people who know how to drive manuals drive my car so i can learn and see what im doing wrong.

somedays i feel like im broke or my car is broke and need to take it to the dealer when i have bad shift days. good to know im not alone. and for the shoes i have tons of shoes. my phyiscal training shoes then my military boots which suck to drive with and that just makes it even harder to shift with.

once i was leaving my work formation and had turned up the radio to be cool. (i'm the only one who ever does that). and had to drive up a short steep hill to get out of the parking lot. i didnt hear how high i revved it and burnt out through first. with all my commanders around and on a military base. needless to say i had a sit down with my chain of command.

now i just bought a crotch rocket and whenever i get into my car i find my self redlining it thinking its my motorcycle and i still have like 5K rpms left to shift. man dont i feel dumb and then have to shift.

 

i dont normally stall but have maybe twice in the last 5 years. its embarassing. lol

 

I never stall out some where, it'll be pulling the car out of the shop after installing something. LOL.

I do have some bad days, especially with some big shoes.

 

We've all been there, dont worry about it. You'll have them less and less the more you drive it.
