I've tried driving other people's cars but everytime I drive I do good for awhile and then I'll stall it (a couple times-heheheh)...and then they get impatient!!!!! I guess I'll have to wait until I get a different car. I know it'll cost a fortune to change it to a manual!...but someday. I actually shift my auto...which probably isn't good for the car but it gives me more get up and go.
