Again with the "pushing out of comfort zone"...

Off to go learn how to drive stick.

Wish me luck, and hope that I don't leave the transmission of our shiny new BMW on the ground.

Good luck! I hope it went well. If not, well, you're still ahead of me when it comes to learning to drive. :)

It went really well, actually! It was a lot easier than I thought it would be. I'm only about 66% there, but I got us to Lowe's and back and only mixed up the gears once, and didn't even stall out the car until I pulled it into the garage. :)

The clutch! The clutch! The clutch is on fire!

If that was your first time on a stick, not stalling is pretty awesome. Congrats!

Brian did have to get on me about remembering not to ride the clutch. :)

Don't worry, we spent some time in a parking lot first where I stalled out plenty. But eventually I got the idea that letting out the clutch was a gradual thing, rather than an on-off thing, and after that things were much smoother. Figuratively and literally.
