See title.

I need a little practice. Who would be willing to let me practice on their ride?

For all you noobs, AUDT stands for Another Useless DarkOnion Thread. :P

The detail trade does sound like a good idea.


Is Kevin any good at detailing though?

He might dark onion decal your car in the process.

My phone does not exist in a Harem. But on the interwebs it does.

If you are planning on buying a stickshift car, just buy it and learn on it

Each clutch feels different and you sort of have to re learn each time you drive a different clutch imo

Integra of mine has new clutch, wrx has 60-70k on clutch, legacy is on original at 169k and it takes me a few times to get adjusted and to relearn the different pressure and clutch points

My dads z4m coupe is hard for me to adjust to drive haha

Just remember, if anyone teaches you it's a ratio of clutch to gas, they have no clue what they're doing.

The BEST thing my friend ever did to teach me how to drive stick, was showing me you can get a car moving without touching the accelerator.
