If you don't use it daily, easy to get rusty!

And I'm not gonna lie I've been in some hairy situations with it that make me wanna die a little bit more than once, but it's gotten a lot better as my confidence has improved. But after reading about some of the traffic you deal with, if I lived in your area I probably would have made a different choice haha. But for us, out here, getting that holy grail engine at at the right price overrode my hatred for standards ☺ TrainwreckInTealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557554448624901955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-599298708593134981.post-44471382902316327402017-08-07T07:54:54.125-07:002017-08-07T07:54:54.125-07:00We have a complicated relationship 😂We have a complicated relationship 😂TrainwreckInTealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557554448624901955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-599298708593134981.post-65800782325363441482017-08-07T07:36:40.541-07:002017-08-07T07:36:40.541-07:00oh man. i drive a standard as my normal daily driv...oh man. i drive a standard as my normal daily driver..... but when i was first truck shopping and thought to keep an open mind toward standards for my truck, idk. it gave me a cold, clammy, nervous feeling. all i could imagine was rolling backwards down some driveway pulled by the trailer trying desperately to not stall out or pop the clutch forward.... bleh. major props to you for making it work!emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686949099663199382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-599298708593134981.post-26880437420818513412017-08-07T07:03:21.253-07:002017-08-07T07:03:21.253-07:00That is quite the process.That is quite the process.SprinklerBandithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02948487857418394022noreply@blogger.com
