I despise stalling. Seriously. Even though I know for a fact that its how people begin, it really sucks. Its frustrating, embarrassing, and makes me panic. But I know I'll soon get better.
Woke up early today and drove to school. Jereme, the pal that he is, came to my house and drove behind me, to take precaution when I would stall. Thanks a lot homie! Stalled like three times on Quimby & Ruby and I got fed up. The light turned green, then red, then green again. So, I just floored it to get past the light. We both also practiced driving our the lot in the morning, past 6:30 am. It was alright. It left me with the feeling to practice more the whole day.
After lunch, I went to Wendy's with Danny and Mason. Danny gave me pointers while I drove and also showed me a few things. I stalled yet again. Its so bad, especially with people behind me getting angry. But, the best are when they laugh and are nice about it. Oh, do I have stories about the first day already.
A little after seventh period began, I was in the parking lot practicing the stick. Drove all around for over an hour. It was fun and it was real practice. Now, I start off better, that's so great. I set a personal goal for myself this morning. Its to get used to my car and get the hang of it by the end of the week. I have total faith in myself, so do my friends. And, if I don't reach it, then it, of course, has to be within the next week. My plan is to just get to school early to drive, hoping not to stall, with less traffic. Then practice in the lot. No first period tomorrow, so that's cool. Then after, say sixth period, practice more. I know I'm not treating the engine, transmission, clutch, and anything else right -that's because I'm a beginner. And if I really did, I have a lifetime warranty. But, I hope I don't.
Its tight, I'm falling in love with my car. Dope stuff. A few of my boys and I were chilling in the lot just talking and looking at our cars. Haha.
Well, I'm looking forward to a chill evening. Holla back youngin'!
Total stalls (and counting) as of now: Around 10. :D
