Newby drives like a woman! An Asian one!

[TeHFoOoL]

Holy-fucking-shit.

So like, I sprint out of class to find James to see if he can give me a ride, right. And I get to his car and his mom's in the passenger's seat so I go WTFUX? Then I remember, " Oh yeah, he got his permit yesterday. Fuck me. "

I hitch a ride anyways.

Keep in mind, this is his first day driving in his life:

We go down the road, some person is a little close to him because he -is- going slow, as is normal for someone who is driving in his first day. He says the following to me, his mom, and his fat friend Zach:

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS FUCKING NIGGER DOING RIDING MY SHIT LIKE THIS? I'M GOING TO FUCKING RIP HIS BALLS OFF.

Mom: JAMES!

Me: dude, it's your second day

James: SHUT THE FUCK UP, MIKE. I GET IT FROM MY DAD'S SIDE.

30 seconds later he takes a 90 degree turn at like 30 MPH, he didn't go into the wrong lane but it was scary as fuck.

I <3 James. I just have to -try- to humiliate him somehow. Though, I do get the vague idea that this whole post will just boost his confidence. /whatever

......
"mara...."
"CHARLES?!"

Zomg, people who stay after the credits rool.

[Ergot]

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!! Let's watch Newby stall when he gets a manual ;P

[Sidoh]

Fucking manuals.

Hahaha at this story, though.

By the way, TehFool, do you have a younger sibling?  Asheraen was saying you were screaming at him in whispers for no reason earlier today. :|

[rabbit]

I always thought Newby would be of the lead-foot, tailgaiting, road-rage group as opposed to the Asian lady group :\

Give him time.  New drivers tend to be Asian-lady-style for the first little while, before they get comfortable and jaded.

I went from old asian lady to young asian streetrace kid very quickly. Having a manual car helps.

Fucking manuals.

:O!  Hot!

Hehe, just kidding.

When I was learning out to drive, we had three vehicles.  They were all manual.

[Joe]

I'm planning on learning to drive without the hastle of stick, and then learning stick.

[AntiVirus]

I learned on an automatic and then my first car was a stick.. *sigh*

[deadly7]

I'd learn on a stick for the hell of it.  Automatic is easy anyways.
*move thing*
*leave alone*
Pfft.

Learn with stick... then you don't have to learn to drive without the hassle of stick.

[iago]

I learned on automatic, and I don't plan on ever driving anything besides an automatic.  i'm not a car guy, and I really don't care about what's 'better'. 

To quote my friend, "I don't understand.  When you have coffee in one hand and a cigarette in the other, how are you supposed to shift and steer?"

You steer with your knee, duh...

[Chavo]

I learned on a stick and haven't driven one since 

It's really not that much more difficult.  Sure you will stall a few times while you learn, but meh.

[dark_drake]

Well, I learned on automatic.  Then one day, a friend of mine decides he wants to teach me stick.  The first time I tried, I completely dumped the clutch.  Eventually, I was able to shift and all that nonsense.  Unfortunately, I haven't driven stick sense, so I'm probably horrible again.

[wires]

When my brother was teaching me to drive, he had a stick.  I think they're fun.  Just takes a little while to figure out how to get into first gear.

You put the cigarette in your mouth and shift jeez. Nobody just holds their cigarette like a incent... also... you could put it in the ashtray and the cup in the cupholder.

[Joe]

Cigarette out window. Coffee follows. Left hand goes on the stick and right on the wheel. Shift into first and press the gas.

Actually, that's the same story as mine.  I think I could probably drive it now, sort of, just enough to get to a hospital if the situation came up.

It's not that simple.  You have to press the clutch and the gas a bit then shift into first and release the clutch and increase the gas, or something.  But it gets easier when you do it a few times. 

[rabbit]

You have to clutch, shift, gas.  Clutch and gas at the same time = brake

[Joe]

You must have missed my post about Tory and I's trip to Madison. To popstart a car, clutch push shift unclutch and tap the gas. It didn't work, but eh?

[CrAz3D]

...I think more people need to learn how to drive a stick...that way when those that drive a stick car are too drunk to drive someone can drive the car.

The car needs to be in gear and going >5 mph. Otherwise the tires lock up and it doesn't compress the gas.

I learned on a manual, and have been driving one since I was 13.  I prefer them over automatics because automatics have this nasty habit of shifting badly, that alone makes me ever want to drive them. Not to mention; manuals have the ability to get better gas miliage.

[Edit] Also, after like a week it's all second nature.  You can stop for monthes then start again, and you still shift perfectaly.

Yeah, It's all depending on how you drive. If you're always redlining and reving the motor, you get not-so-good mpg. Samething with automatics, though.

Not so. Reset the ECM and drive really shitty, slamming on the gas often. It'll learn to shift really bad and late, redlining it before it switches gears.

[CrAz3D]

way too hard...takes too much effort to reprogram it....unless you have right hardware/software

[Quik]

Not really. Most cars just require you to diconnect your car battery, wait 10 minutes, then reconnect it. Then, supposedly, you're supposed to go through a sequence in your owner's manual. However, if you just drive it after reset, it will learn things incorrectly (like automatic shifting), and hence will redline.

Or, if you want to be real white trash, notice there's no lock between neutral and drive, rev in neutral and pop into drive. You could also just floor it. I left like 8 feet of rubber in my mothers MiniVan by sheer lead-footedness.

F150s are only offered in an auto ... unless you get a v6

[Furious]

Learn to drive a manual, I've driven tons of manuals ranging from imports to full size trucks, and then to muscle cars.  Once you have the general concept down it only takes a few minutes to get adjusted to a different vehicle, because no two are the same.  You need to find the "spot" in the clutch, to do it slowly let off the clutch until you feel the car start moving ( while in 1st ), it will start rolling EXTREMELY slowly, from there you need to give a little gas and start letting of the clutch.  Most people refer to the process as a "teeter totter" when learning, it's actually extremely simple.

I have an 87 accord, the previous owners SUCK @ maintenance.  mismatched nuts/bolts all throughout.

SO FAR, I've replaced brakes (all around, not just the pads either), steering, a/c, cv joints, thermostat?, idle control valve.

my muffler FELL OFF the other day, a/c doesnt work (again).

HOWEVER, it runs!!!...and I was supposed to change the oil in Novemember of 2004!

I'll bet you that the majority of Asia doesn't even know what a Honda Civic is. Also, it's damn near impossible to drift anything front wheel drive.

Noob.

[deadly7]

Toyotas ARE good cars.  They're built to last.  They're not really sporty or visually amazing or anything, but they work if you wash them regularily (salt from roads during winter eats away at anti-rust coating).  My dad, up until this year, was using a car made in 1990.  1990 Corolla.  That thing still ran and everything worked.  Just, he didn't wash the car in the winter ever so the body went to hell (rusts literally the size of my entire leg).

My little Chevy S-10 has been around for 24 years. It was made 1983. It still runs and everyting works, the only problem (at the moment) is a clutch that I'm fixing later this summer. It's got a total of like, maybe 1 cubic foot of rust. It's been through many winters and salty roads. (It has a protective layer of like, .25" dirt. Keeps the water out, and off of the suspention.) I <3 it! It also gets 24 city and 30~ highway mpg!

My Honda has been through hell & back & lives on.  If everything had been maintained itd be a nice little car...but the previous owners suck @ that (& so do I sorta)...i.e., I need to change my oil (since Nov 2004)

You know nothing about cars. Except for the racial bonus of like being Asian but that's negotiable. You put all your skill points in other choices anyways. Nub plz.

[Furious]

My dad drives an 88' Integra LS to work and back everyday, he just keeps up with maintaining it.  My Mustang doesn't give me any major problems, I just have a bunch of small ones because the dumbasses that had it before me didn't take care of it...that being one of the reasons I may just gut it and turn it into a strip car.

I stumbled across this discussion too late, I'm afraid. I dearly wished to tear out some innards in a debate about Japanese cars, but I think that everyone else has already realized that BigAznDaddy is a moron. Thank you Myndy for posting what I was about to say re: Fast and Furious or Initial D movie bullshit.

If you want a real asian car, import a GT-R. Your JDM integ or stock evo don't make you a l33t racer.

[Krazed]

Man I wish I saw this discussion. About driving clutch, easiest way to catch the clutch is to just feather the gas between like, 1500-2500 and slowly let out the clutch and you wont stutter it. About the JDM shit-talking, I wanna see a mustang or any other "muscle" car run under a 13 in the quarter mile and still get good gas mileage. It's not gonna happen.

Define "good gas mileage"...

I'm sure you could do it.

The new stangs are supposed to hit 13.6 ish in the 1/4 & get like 20? mpg city
...if you drop some weight, change the exhaust & intake & maybe retune it you SHOULD accelerate quicker & get BETTER mpg

Haha, I could be an asshole and say good gas mileage is over 25mpg. I forgot about the new stangs. 

[CrAz3D]

Haha, I could be an asshole and say good gas mileage is over 25mpg. I forgot about the new stangs. 

if you REALLY wanted to be an asshole, you'd find a nice powerful 05-06 stang that gets like 22mpg city & runs a 12.9 & say "good mpg is 22.5mpg, BITCH!"

[MyndFyre]

Holy crap.  The most gas I've ever put in my car was 16.8 gallons, and that was below the line.

Until today.

I'd driven back from Flagstaff (~170 miles), was still running on the same gas when I got it to the gas station this morning.  17.2 gallons.

Lukcy I made it!

[rabbit]

Most cars don't tell you about the extra gallon nowadays.  See, most of the gas meters are actually E = 1.

[CrAz3D]

yeah, once the fun EMPTY you've ~50 miles.

The most I've ever gotten outta my truck was like 360 miles (& I wasn't even on empty when I filled it up!!!)...18 mpg baby!
