So that little title sounds... yah... but really it's not, it's just fitting of Ash. For the second time in my car history I tried to teach someone to drive stick. The first experience was with Liz in a parking lot. It was rather amusing. There was this one point where she had a little trouble going up a slight hill and some punk kid came over and asked us if we were ok. We just laughed. Then he asked who's car it was like we stole it or something.
Last night I let Ashleigh drive my car! Now that was fun! I practically had to force her to do it though. She did VERY well. Only almost killed us once, on a little bit of a hill in a parking lot. Well that sounds familiar. She was at a stop and was trying to go forward and some guy got on her ass behind her. Well I don't think he'll ever do that one again. Slowly rolling back almost into his car can scare the best of us I do have to say so myself. She swears she's never going to drive a stick again... heh heh *add dirty thought here*... but she was great and I'll probably get her behind the wheel again soon! Right ACP?

Posted by: TDM at September 23, 2003 05:47 PMI had to learn how to drive an aircraft towing vehicle called a lektro. I was driving it around on the airport and my friend said if you get nervous let go. I tried to turn right but went left.. then overcompensated to the right so I let go... My friend flew off the machine and I spun in circles about 5 times right in front of our customers and the air traffic control. Apparently I am the only person to have been able to flip this thing. Pretty embarassing and I have not tried it again since. There. There is my story. No one was injured.
