I keep getting these dream and they are starting to freak me out abit, im so worried about the kids that I dream of something happening to them and I wake up crying arrghh its nerve racking!

Besides that, im a complete failure when it comes to driving standard, I stalled 14 times in 45 mins, I dont think ill ever get the concept or be able to drive my car arrghh!! I even got my dad to show me how to drive standard cause I know he wouldnt scream at me or make rude comments like bf/dh usually do (learned the first time.)

thing is I have to learn how to drive standard by next week as I am the primary driver of the explorer (insurance wise) ack!

C'est la vie!

You just have to practice, once you get it down it never leaves you. I learned how to drive in a standard and that was over 12 years ago (man, i'm old!) and if I have to I can still drive standard just fine. I just don't like it because there are a lot of hills here and I hate having to stop at the top of a hill and being afraid of rolling into the car behind me, but you kind of just have to gun it. And once you get the hang of it you don't need to listen to the motor, you can just feel when you need to shift.

Just go out and drive around for a really long time, maybe stay on backroads where there aren't a lot of other cars. Good luck!

standard aka 5-speed, where you have to shift every now and again and use the clutch as opposed to automatic where you just put it in drive and go.

Silly girl...

i have the same problem .Jess! It starts after you become a mother. I was a little paranoid to begin with that it multiplied after having .Brian.

There's nothing you can really do about it.

I know I would be complete crap at driving a standard. I'm not even going to bother learning. I'm pretty sure my husband knows how, so that's good enough for me.

Automatic for me, baby!
