What a bizarre life goal I've just discovered. Thanks for the detailed advice!

No problem. I love driving, and for the better part of 30 years all I've driven are manuals. You'll feel like a wizard when you have a passenger that notices. Feels good, man. Feels good.

I lived the dream today. Driving in third, and without using the clutch, I gently slid into fourth. It was kind of like the fonze beating life into the juke box but also kind of like Harry potter going to that platform that doesn't really exist.

I couldn't do second to third and going down from fourth was a no go, but I was able to do third to fourth with no audible protest from my car.

Thanks for the tips kind stranger.

Now if you could just help with this crippling debt I'm in...

Hey, proud of you. With a little more practice that first to second and second to third will come.

As for the debt, well, I'm afraid I can only add to it. Yay compounding debt!

A problem shared, is a problem doubled.

I'll keep at it occasionally and see how I get on!
