Default She's finally home!

My baby is home, finally sitting outside and I'd rather be sleeping in it. I picked it up tonight so there aren't any good pictures and won't be till Sunday or Monday since I'll be in MD. She's awesome, Alloy Metallic GT on Red Black w/ the calif. appearance package.

Question, this is my first manual car ( I have driven stick before but this is the first time I'm trying to get comfortable with it). I'm slowly smoothing out my launch, but i'm having trouble with 2nd gear, i let off the clutch and give a little gas but it jumps... any advice/tips? I'd really like to not destroy the clutch.

Welcome, it takes practice. The more you drive, the better you will get. Just be sure and fully engage second gear before you accelerate.

Welcome!!!! Shifting is all a matter of practice and timing. Make sure your seat is adjusted so you feel comfortable when you use the clutch and shift....
