Does anyone have trouble driving their car?
I can't figure this out!
I come in off the road & get into my car...& I CAN'T seem to figure out how to drive it. The jake brake doesn't work, the gears (6 speed manual) are too close together, I slow down WAY too fast, I turn corners WAY too wide, and I'm always looking out the right side mirror to see if I cleared the corner! Am I nuts? Or do others have this problem too?? :lol: :lol: |
You mean to tell me that I really don't have to take the corners as wide!!
Uh, oh! So I just look like one of those other dumb blonds behind the wheel! Hee! Hee! And I can never find the clutch pedal in my car! And I have to fall into the car instead of climbing up. Never seem to get used to that. |
And I'm ALWAYS hitting my head on the door jam! I think am gonna have a flat spot on the top of my head soon!! :?
|
sometimes when I get in my dodge pickup I take turns really wide and when I let off the fuel I wonder why it doesn't slow down like it should
sometimes when I drive the Mustang I bang gears trying to shift without the clutch |
2 things I tend to do....
Not push in my clutch all the way..makes a terrible noise. and Worse, I have...on occasion, put the car in first when I wanted to back up. DOH! |

AND I constantly forget to USE the clutch. SHEESH :twisted: |
I don't use the clutch in the truck, so I'm not sure why it causes me to only push in my car clutch part way, I guess its stuck in my head from driving school.
lol |
me neither...
I do the same thing..only push the clutch in part way. I think it's cause I had to "fake" it when I was teaching my students how to double clutch. I was never taught how to use it so I had a helluva time teaching it to students, so I learned to make it LOOK like I was doing it, but not really doing it. Does that make sense? Now THAT was the year from hell....being a driving instructor! Every want a job where you have to have nerves of steel & a stomache of iron?? :roll: God, talk about fear factor!!! Gimme the ice roads anyday hahaha |
My driving instructor is selling his business and figured I should buy it. He was pretty lucky with me and some others, but I did a few ride alongs with some of his students that weren't taking to the truck as fast as the rest of us..... no thanks. lol
Sometimes I see if I can still double clutch, I can on the upshift but am totally unco-ordinated with the downshift, usually makes me laugh out loud at myself. |

Trouble when you get experience...everybody wants you to train...I don't like people enough to share my space. THAT was the main reason I became an o/o way back when :lol: |
