Heheh, that sounds cool. Lucky, you can start learning to drive already.

O.O Sounds like an awesome car. We just have a truck and van at the moment.

Sticks drive me crazy, in our truck I have to sit in the middle alot beside dad, and the stick likes to hit me on the knee when he uses it.

What size engine does it have?

Learning to drive a standard takes patience, and the smaller the engine (likely you have a 4-cylinder in there), the less room you have for error.

(This is where backroads are good.)

Just remember to ride the clutch into first gear; that's what I could never master. I can drive a standard if absolutely necessary, but not day-in-day-out.

Oh, goodness, I hope I remember that. If you don't ride the clutch, it makes a terrible "SKKRRR" noise. Gah. ><

Nikira, that's the gears stripping...

O.o

Anyways, my dad has a bronze 1986 Nissan truck that's a manual, and it actually used to belong to my mom's mom! It still had her wig in it...

o.O

I wish we could own a farm, so I could practice driving it around... The truck hasn't started in a year... and we have TWO OTHER TRUCKS! Both Chevy S-10s. One's blue with Mags, wide rear wheels, and a pushbar. And we also have a 1984 Caprice Classic, and, when the driver is provoked going onto the highway, it can chirp the tires when shifting into 2ND gear. It's a 5.0. Who thought that it was that? Plus, it has some Corvette parts...

Anyways, I thought of painting it over with some two-tone paint... white on the hood and back, and repaint the rest with a custom metal flake royal blue, with some red pinstriping on trunk and hood. OOH! RED WHITE AND BLUE! PAINT IT LIKE THE AMERICAN FLAG! I know how to do it! Place down strips of tape into a wavy strip, paint the whole car as soon as you made some equal strips down the side, and do the thing all over again, the next time, do it with red, or white, if you did white or red first in that order. After that's done, you have to paint down the blue field, and try to put in some stars, as many as you can get to 50.

Did you know that the motor is in the back? If there's holes in some places in the body, you can take the body panel off, place a sheet of metal on the back of the hole, weld it in place, seal the front of the hole with body filler, sand the body filler down until it's even, primer it, and paint it!

If you think I can drive on public roads, I'm only a kid. My dad kinda works part time as a mechanic, and I'm a car whiz.
