Im just teasing and You are correct. A stall happens when the engine doesn't reciece enough power to continue to turn over so the motor will basically shut off. The way I taught my friend was every time you stall the A/C will turn off. It was the middle of August and very hot I was fine with it since I'm used to it.

But a funny story one of my friends from high school said he was going to steal my car. I responded with a good luck I have 3 peadles. They responded and asked if my car has two break peadles

Haha. O another thing! I know when I need to upshift but I have no clue when to downshift. O and I would prob literally have to stare at the little picture telling me which gear is where and try to figure it out. Hmm maybe I am not cut out for a manual lol

By the way, striaght piping my ride to me made it sound so much deeper then other exhausts, a little bottom end loss i think but nothing serious. and I get looks and compliments all the time. best $100 buck I've spent in a while. and if you get tired of it just buy and exhaust.

This was a horribly wrong sentence so it was edited so no one else would get confused.

Wait whaaaaaaaaat? I'm so confused
