Stick Shift

I'm in Swarthmore at Susanna's house for passover and Susanna's parents have a stick shift car so Susanna offered to teach me how to drive it. We were just going up and down the drive way and I was starting to get a few reasonable starts (I never got it without any jerks, but I think a few of them there was only one jerk, rather than bouncing back and forth). Then I lost it and stalled out several times in a row and then the car had trouble starting so we decided to take a bit of a break. Maybe I'll try again later today but I'm not sure how much damage I want to do to Susanna's parents car...
