I've taken your advice, multiple times.

I do see when people are trying to help me out, like now, aren't you trying to help me out?
But I know you are smarter and more mature than 13... I just wish you'd act like it a little more often.

Just consider how what you say will make others react... If you think it will be offensive than don't say it.

find a parking lot lol

it's really easy and just like riding a bike once you learn, basically gradually release the clutch at a constant motion and give it more gas if or when it starts to stall

and once you get the hang of it on flat ground find a incline and practice starting on that, then you will learn little tricks like using the clutch to hold the car steady and not roll with out using the brakes...then to go forward you just give it gas and let the clutch the rest of the way out



and rest your foot on the clutch always completely take your foot off and to the side
