Default Super Excited

Well as many of you know last year I was involved in a car accident (hit by drunk driver), which resulted in my left leg being crushed. Today was the first time I was actually able to shift a 5 speed. I took out my wife's jetta out for a quick spin. Although it was quite painful and I was slow to push the clutch, I was able to make it work. I'm gonna keep trying to drive 5-10 mins a day.
