>OHGODSTART-TURNKEY-GASGASGASGAS
>rev up to 3.5k and inch out the clutch
>car was still rolling a little so this time it works and manages to stay alive
From then ob, whenever I'm standing still at a light, or it starts to go green, out of habit I will clutch-in and do a little blind shifter check and, flick it from 1st to 2nd and back to 1st a few times to make sure it really is in 1st. Saved my ass so many times since then. I use a 1-3-5, 2-4-R (upper, lower row) setup so 1 and two are comfy inline without any maze inbetween.

>going a bit too fast
>spin a full 180 and end up backwards on the street
>some lady who was outside her house flips out and starts running across the street as if she needs to come revive me or something
>quickly reverse up the road and into a parking spot on the street
>get out quickly and head inside before she get to me, didn't see what apartment I lived in
This kind of shit happens on a monthly basis, mostly out of me getting hekitik because of boredom
