So our car is a five-speed/manual. Meaning: I don't know how to drive it. But Mr. Pendleton had so much confidence in me- he has been riding with me twice to practice- and said I would be perfectly fine driving on busy streets and hwy. So I decided to take Mr. Sentra to TJ Maxx, which is about 10 miles away across the main freeway and entirely on busy streets.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><b>Result:</b> Five car stalls, loud grinding noises, and a bad smell later, I called Dani to come save us and left Mr. Sentra in a parking lot. I probably made it about 2 miles. It seems as though I am a PRO at 1st and 2nd gears, but still need some coaching through 3rd and 4th.
