I've been driving a stick-shift car for about five months now I think and even though I'm pretty sure I've more or less got the hang of it and I can drive it just fine when I'm alone, I always seem to snub it out at least once if I have any passengers. It's as though my car is saying "Hey Isaiah's friends, look at this joker thinking he has tamed me. I am an insatiable beast and I will not submit to his command."
