Hello all,
So I recently (today) purchased a stick shift. I have never before drove a stick shift but I though might as well learn now. I thought how hArd could it be.. Right? Anyway an hour of driving in the parking lot with my dad, I felt comfortable and went to the streets myself. A first I was fine but then I got stopped at a stop sign where I needed to make a left hand turn onto a busy street. Cars were behind me and my nerves kicked in. I had to have stalled the car about 10 times with cars honking behind me and oncoming traffic coming my way as well. I could not stop shaking and keep my cool. It got to a point when a kind man came and helped me drive back to a nearby parking lot. I feel once I get it passed first gear I am fine but it terrifies me when I need to get started from a dead start. Anyway, my problem is that I start working a new job on Monday and I will be driving from the city to the burbs. Will I be okay by Monday if I practice driving for one more day (Sunday) seeing how today was my first time ever driving stick. Or should I use my fathers automatic car for a while? I have no idea what to do and I feel really dumb. I am always up for challenges and I thought I would be able to do this but I’m not sure if Sunday will be enough seeing how today went.
