Learning to Drive a Manual

I remember when my dad first taught me how to drive a manual vehicle. I was about eight or nine, and one day he pulled over while we were coming home from our town store, and told he me to get behind the wheel. I was so shocked because I didn't think he would let me start driving so soon. I was so confused when I got behind the wheel. I didn't know what to do. Heck, I didn't even know how to start the truck. He told me to put my foot on the clutch and hold it down and turn the ignition. I choked down about ten times before I got it to crank. I pulled off just a chugging along. I missed so many gears until it was ridiculous. He told me to press to the clutch and he would shift. He did that to learn me how to shift on time. As time progressed I got better at driving a manual. Its so much fun driving them because I just like shifting. Bloggers if you can't drive a manual, you need to learn because its so much fun.
