No driver, you mash the gas. If you mash the gears, you ain't doin' somethin' right. :P

I had only barely driven a stick in a fourwheeler, which was a blessing and a curse. I had a lot of trouble with the gears. I had to figure out how to do it a weird way that totally confused my teachers. My thought process, rather, not what I was physically doing.
The funny thing was when I drove my boss's pickemup to the store to pick up some truck parts. Back when I had driven a fourwheeler, the subject of downshifting never really came up. I wasn't sure how to downshift a fourwheeler. When do you drop a gear?
So I was coming up a hill, and thinking it was starting to "lug," so I decided to drop a gear. I accidentally dropped two, let up the clutch, and left four black streaks in the road.
Oops.
Fourwheelers let you do stupid things you could never get away with in a truck. I like trannies with no synchros better, personally.

I was coming home from some really long run one time, tired as hell. I actually got "pulled over" and sobriety tested in my own damn driveway. The cop saw me swing hugely wide for the turn going up my street, and he thought I was drunk.
Embarrassing. Nothing is more fun than standing in your driveway with a flashing cop car behind you while the neighbors drive by.
