@cheehee

yea i try to listen to more calming things now, my friend said if i listen to stuff like linkin park or any kind of driving rock music, it'll raise my heart rate and make me more nervous. I've been trying to do that too but i think its just the clutch i have to get used to..and going up hills freak me out like crazy...especially the one after the king street offramp going east...ever since they started doing the construction there, ive been praying to god that i dont have to stop there..i just cant get my clutch work down...

@s2ksi8

I'm not a good driver kinda nervous..and i think its a little bit of the car too cuz of the lightened flywheel...on flat roads its fine to drive but once i start going on a hill, that flywheel is prett scary..

lol i have that confidence at night when there aren't as many cars on the road..other than that, im a nervous wreck when i drive

haha and i have steven's old car so its pretty modded already, that already adds to my initial "new driver" nervousness..

@mookknight

yea, i've been trying to do that but my clutch work needs some major work..some days its super smooth but others are just horrible...hills are a killer for me..

i think i might come out soon to a meet and drive around with you guys...i gotta get used to me car..lol. so far i drive like a grandma in it..i mean, its good for gas but i wanna have some fun too!

@shabadedoo
yea, its my first manual car...scares the crap out of me

Just a quick tip...on hills pull up the ebrake and hold the button. As soon as the clutch grabs release the ebrake and gradually gas it. You'll get the hang of it
