New Ride!

For the past couple of month my ’01 Jetta was giving me some problems, nothing serious but costly. With 60,000 miles logged and warranty expired I decided that it was time to get a new car.

So after a few test drives I finally decided upon the Scion TC. I got in a nice metallic grey shade, looks sweet and the drive is awesome. Aside from it being new, this is my first manual transmission car.

I have driven a stick shift before, but that was a long time ago, and over the years of driving an automatic (bad move) I became lazy and forgotten how to drive stick. Kind of sad, but since my Dad has more experience with stick than I did, I let him drive back from the dealer. Once home he gave a refresher course and over the weekend I got the hang of it again, for the most part.

Been driving it around on the highway and local roads and so far so good, my shifting coordination is not solid yet, sometimes I’ll ride the clutch for bit or shift too quickly causing a very jerky ride. Hopefully over the next few days I’ll have everything down and will be crusing with ease and forget I ever drove an automatic car!
