Default first drive / new pic

I took out the mustang for the firs time this morning.. went up to about 40 in 3rd gear

I ended up stalling twice learning howto backup / stop / go - didn't know u had to have ur foot down on the clutch as u slow down as well - first time on stick.. only grinded once because of how akward the shift is - can't tell where i am / going.

You might want to wait until that snow goes away before you learn how to drive a rear wheel driven car.

Yeah I found out last week how bad mustangs can be in the snow. Most of the snow had melted during the day and then refroze into black ice. I was just into second gear and barely accelerating when my backend swung out to the left and put me in a ditch. All I have to replace is the bumper and fog lights so it wasn't too bad. (I planned on putting in brighter fog lights anyways ) Then when the tow truck pulled me out of the ditch one of my tailpipes got caught in the hill and bent back under the car! Luckily I had just ordered a new exhaust kit so everything's good haha.

Nice car by the way!
