Your dad's a faggot.

>your dad gets in the car with you
>its a manual
how badly do you mess up the shifting?

>Drive with any of my family
>They all try to be a backseat driver and bitch about my speeding constantly

Fuck it, OP.

>actually caring how people think you drive
>wojack feel meme
How fucking new are you?

I'm not OP, but holy fuck that is the worst. The shifter turns into wet spaghetti

Plot twist: you're a shit driver and only your dad has the balls to say it

>drive with dad
>be comfortable
>well executed rev matching for downshifts for effective engine braking
actually be a better driver than him and he recognizes it

Feels good to have good relations with the old man

About as new as you when you stepped off the boat from Reddit, you cancerous fuck.

Kill yourself.

You have to go back.

Same here OP.

>Get in car with mom
>keeps slamming her foot down on her side of the car like theres brakes over there

>mom gets in car with me
>she immediately grabs onto the lift handle for dear life
>shrieking every time I change gears or the waste gate does its thing
"ZOMG SLOW DOWN YOURE GOING TO KILL USSSSSSS"
>literally doing the speed limit

It was understandable when I was a new driver, but it's been 10 years. She also does it when she gets in the car with anyone though.

>drive with family
"ure the best driver ever"
>drive at a brisk pace with family
"omg we gon die slow down, slow down!"
>drive with dad
"you shiftin all bad"
"don't rev so high, you'll break it"
>drive fast with dad
"you have to go all the way up, this engine has no power otherwise"
"you're killing the tires"
"why you slowing down?"

>own 2 manual cars
>looking for a manual truck
>will never buy another automatic vehicle
>dad says manual trucks are stupid because no one drives them
>call him a fuccboi for basing his opinions solely on what others do and think
>"whatever, dick"
to give you an idea of him, this nigga owned a fuckin automatic corvette and camaro and now owns a manual zl1 only because literally not a single dealer in town stocked an auto one, but hes driven it less than 10k in the 4 or 5 yers hes owned it

>>well executed rev matching for downshifts for effective engine braking

my dad spergs out when i do that, ranting how that kill the engine

>it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks of my driving if my dad doesn't like it
i feel you OP. my dad is a mechanic and still going for around 20+ years. he works at toyota and he's one of the best and most recognized mechanics there. he gave me some of the best driving lessons possible due to this, but fuck he thinks i'm bad at driving still for some reason.

>dad daily drives manual in a big busy city
>he teach me how to do it
>i do it perfectly thanks to him and my interest to know more
>all his complaints are either "dont turn the car while its stationary because >muh tires" (the car almost never reaches 100 kmh) or "try to look to the sides more" (he forgets that i dont have a 55 year old mans vision and i can see perfectly clear without turning my head.

This, I was just driving my mom around town today and that shit happened constantly.
>On highway
>Guy 500 ft in front of us taps his brakes, slows by 3-4mph
>I let off accelerator and keep foot hovering over brake in case he continues braking and I need to slow down some more
>I don't, guy speeds up a little bit and we match speeds, 500ft distance maintained
>Whole time mom is stomping foot on imaginary brake pedal in passenger seat and tells me to slow down
>Wish I could do pic related

The 'da is a terrible driver so this has never been an issue. At some point he decided it's better for brake life to pump the brakes when coming to a stop (including cars with abs). Makes everyone who rides with him carsick.

Or you could be an adult and stop seeking validation from a old man, just because you came from his right testicle.

>dad drives an auto prius and hates cars, thinks the future is in self-driving electrics and ICE should be banned

It hurts lads

>me at 22, Ford Explorer from '98 training to get my license (used to live somewhere having a car was unnecessary)
>dad says I'm not bad, feel pretty proud of myself
>used to drive friends cars around but not gonna admit that to dad
>dad gets real sick; lymphoma
>not looking too hot
>now; 22, dads on his last months
>never really felt like he was proud of me
>too sick to take him cruising
Enjoy it when you can anons, I should've taken dad out more often when I could've, don't be like me, even if he's not proud of your driving, take him cruising

First line was meant to say 20 not 22.

California?

My dad critiques my manual transmission driving every time he drives by saying I ride the clutch too much when I only ever do it in stop and go traffic and shifting by just blipping the throttle. This is coming from an old man who jerks the car back and forth every time he drives it but thinks I am a bad driver. But he had driven a semi truck for 40 years until retirement so he thinks he still has it.

It hurts my confidence when he gets in and immediately starts nitpicking and takes me days to fully regain it

Jokes on you my dad was a piece of shit and when he dies it will probably make my day

Inb4 edgy

My dad is dead

>70's /k/

>dad is the only person i can sit passenger without feeling like im going to die

am i the only one

I know this feel user

My own dad was neglectful and a little emotionally abusive but damn do I wish he'd lived long enough to see me get my license and go driving with me. He refused to teach me at 15 or 16 unlike almost everyone else in rural PA because I wasn't worth the cost of gas to teach me, and I succeeded despite not having any help from family and I just fucking want him to know that. For anons who actually like their dads: take him driving while you still can.

>Drive with my dad
>GAT DANG SON STOP REVVIN THE ENGINE YER GONNA KEEL IT

At that moment I finally became an adult.

>my father around 40 years ago
>parents give him money for driving licence and buy him brand new car
>he's at university studying chem
>doesn't like it anymore
>lies to his parents about doing exams while he's slakering and doing drugs all day

40 years laters
>be me, not much to 18
>want to take driving licence
>he's currently divorced
>my father opposes as he deems it as pointless, wasteful and generally I'm not worthy of it
>ignore him and my mother pays for my driver licence
>want to buy a little shitbox for 1500€
>my father deems I'm not worthy of it, he even makes his lawyer write it on paper
>he thinks my car is wrong for me
>he thinks it's too big because it's a Focus and he literally forced his mother to give him her cars a Punto
>don't care about him

I wouldn't complain much. You have no idea what it means to have a real piece of digested shit as father.

No. I can easily fall asleep if my dad is driving, but if it's my gf or my sister I am in fear for my life

>tfw dad died before I could get my license
>But if he would of been he'd of been the first person telling me to go faster and drive like a madman
>tfw before he went we used to talk about cars and such constantly would help him wrench too

Feels good that even though I lost him early in life that my father wasn't a faggot like most of yours.

>drive mom around in my car
>she closes the door like this

in fact come to think of it, every girl that has ridden in my car closes the door like this. what gives?

Must be nice having an onee-chan that'll drive you places.

>haven't been on Veeky Forums in a few years
>come back and see this
>read through this thread
>remember how many muricans think driving a manual makes you driving god

I'm out.

Shyamalan'd!

everyone i know thinks i'm a good driver, including my dad, to the point where i'm on his & my mother's insurance for each of their cars :3

>dad tells me I'm revving the engine too hard and I should keep it under 2k

>drive an FC

My dad is the exact same way. I do a lot of driving at work and everyone there thinks I'm a good driver, my mom and brother also think I drive normally. My dad freaks out whenever I drive with him to the point where I just don't drive him anywhere. I can't take him seriously because it's literally all in his head.

The metal shocks us. I don't know why I never see it happen to men but there's like a 50% chance I'll get shocked when I touch the metal of a car door. Anyone decent will still minimize how much they touch someone else's window so they avoid smudging it up though.

My dad yells at me to do illegal shit when I drive.

He's your dad. Dad's are supposed to be better at masculine things than you are, even if they are not.

>dad had a black 93' 911 Turbo growing up

I think my dad is Bunta but with kraut cars

>No u!
awesome user, that was a good one.

>My dad literally thinks I'm a failure or something

I know more about cars than him and I ended up doing a lot of my own work, I have always done my own oil changes...

I replace my own alternator and he mentions if I put the belt on ccorrect, well the belt still works so I obsvoly didn't fuck up

>oh user, do you ever change the oil and take it to a shop?
I look at him and basically say, dude I know what turbos/supeerchargers/nitrous and na/forged builds do to a car how the fuck do you think i dont konw how to change oil
