Driving




I got my first try at driving a manual car today.
So it was only in the driveway, but it was still fun.
I wasn't very good at it.
My mum was a little scared.
It gave my siblings a good laugh.
Towards the end I finally figured out how to use the clutch.
Maybe next time I will be a little better at it...Maybe :)

In an automatic car, I am a little bit better. I drove half way home from church a few weeks ago. Only half way because Dad wasn't sure if I am ready for the freeway. That was my only drive longer then 5 minutes. I have a little trouble with the round-a-bouts. I have been doing little drives such as to and from bible study and evening church, but other then that not much. It has been great driving. I like it a lot. :)

Hey, you should jack up the drive wheels on the car that's manual. That way you can practice popping the clutch all you want with out scaring your mother.

I can't get my liscense until December *sob* cuz the stupid state of Indiana doesn't accept permits from other states! *angry face* But I've been driving on gravel since I was 8 and Dad taught me how to drive a stick the week before I turned 14. I drove everywhere in Minnesota but since I'm learning where everything is around here, that's fine I haven't in a while. Practice makes perfect and thankfully driving is easier than piano.
