TTQ B4U Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 So the family all piled into the car for some late afternoon fun at Sawmill Park at my kids school, Old Sawmill. While there, I see one of the best sounding late model STi Hatchbacks (Red) with what looked like some Gray OZ Wheels acting like it was staging for a blast in the parking lot. I'm like WTF Turns out it was a guy teaching his girlfriend to drive a manual :gabe: She would rev to about 2-3k and Bog-hop-bog-hop that bitch like it was her job :lolguy::lolguy: Anyone here? Looked like at the very end she was able to get it going a little better but not perfect yet. Car sounded great and I'm glad to see it was down to a single exhaust pipe. Even if it was a Canon at an angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWW$HEEET Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Wow riveting tale chap. Let me get it tattoed on me bum so when I have a pint, I can have my grandkids read it back to me, and then they can tell their grandkids, because it is that bloody cool of a story.

starkmaster03 Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 When I worked at the Mr.Tire on Sawmill we watched a guy try to teach a girl how to drive stick in his Viper in the Flannigans lot. It was quite amusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddyBuiltRacing Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 I taught my gf (now wife) to be a master user of the stick in about 2minutes and there wasn't a car involved Being more serious, it took my wife about 5 minutes in an empty lot to learn in my old crx. I got tired of hearing her bitch about not being able to drive a 5 speed, so I took her there, got out and and said have at it. Looking back I wish I had never taught her because I never drive these days lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking back I wish I had never taught her because I never drive these days lol my buddy bought a WRX a year or two ago without knowing how to drive stick. i tought him in my beater car, and it took him an hour just to be "ok". we went to the lower lot at hoover, so plenty of flat ground practice, then i parked it on the hill and he tried for about 30 min to make it up that hill before i said "fuck it" and told him to not go up hills in his car until he could drive around his neighborhood. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractor Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Sounds like my wife. She's never managed to figure out how to drive a manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Taught my son in an hr. My wife tried and he had all but given up. I took him to an empty lot and told him to blow the tranny up. He didnt get it until I told him to just give it hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 I will never understand your hatred for those cars. Same. Especially considering that the STi's transmissions are Porsche designed and very strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRD2BDF Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 I can drive a stick but not very well. My biggest problem area is the clutch/gas while taking off and depending on the car, transitioning between gears. I had a big issue in the Fiat because the engagment point was really really high.

Dr. Apex Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Same. Especially considering that the STi's transmissions are Porsche designed and very strong. The International "MaxxForce" engines are Caterpillar designed, still junk though. Adam, just nothing to like about them except the sound and I'm a diamond star guy, nuff said.

Fubar231 Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 My girl keeps begging me to let her drive the camaro. She swears up and down that she knows how to drive stick but i keep saying "Ill let you drive it once you show me you can drive a stick, and your not showing me on mine" She always bitches and says "How can i show you if you wont let me try". Well, thats not my problem lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the Jeep, and you know how I am about the Talon. Your si would be a good car to teach someone to drive a manual, an sti is asking for trouble imo.
