Default Welcome to the club =)

It took me a while to get the hang of it. Like lawong said, more gas and slower movement. Have fun with it, it is definately a lot more fun than an automatic.

Default AHAHA

My first day with the new car was friggin' terrifying. All around Princeton is hilly and I stalled too. Only way you'll learn is to jump in head first.

Default This got me to imagine you putting your...

son on your tranny (on the dolly) in your garage, and pushing him around with both of you going 'vrooom vroooooooom'!

Let me know if you need a hand putting your drive train back together when you get your turbo's back!
