Oh, ten easy steps. That's for girls, dude. Can't you tell the difference? Report back when you do.

Idk what u want me to say? Ok so u have been driving a manual wrong got 40 years? Funny that u say that article is "for girls". I asked my girlfriend just now, "babe, when do u downshift into first?" She responded, "only at a stop light. Is this a trick question?" Funny that even my girlfriend knows better. And secondly i find it odd that u think girls can't drive manuals. Save that sexist crap for another forum.

I want u to tell me what logical reason u have for shifting into first at speed. Cuz I'm pretty sure chirping your tires on a downshift isn't one
