mat420 Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 ya i want to, seems kinda fun but its like, what car do i practice on? and i feel like it would get "old" and id want an easy no-thinking automatic back. any idea on this bro?: the 0-60 is when u floor it....i mean, im just "pissing in the wind here" trying to find ideas but...maybe cuz im not flooring either car (something with how the gears aare setup or something?), maybe thats why the lancer feels quicker than the civic?

Pballer2005 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 you dont know how to drive a manual? i taught my little brother how to drive my car when he was 14 the younger the better right? my youngest sister (14) is a bit of car enthusiast and i'm tempted to take her out in my car to the dry lake bed and give her some lessons. would be fun to have someone in the family who was as into cars as I am but my parents would kill me.

BrIaN EG2 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 well seeing how low my car is i couldnt take him to a field, lol i let him drive around at the park and then part of the way home, lol my step dad taught me how to drive manual when i was 15, its better to learn young because you dont have bad habbits when youre young and a new driver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
