Sigh...Freakin Girlfriend.
 

So coming home from the mall....im in sixth and cars are coming to a full stop ahead of us, i clutch in drop to N while my foot is still on clutch this is where it gets retarded, so my girl flips out saying "OMG STOP" and at this point im letting off the clutch because the traffic isnt moving and she pulls my shift hand and make me shift into fourth as im letting off the clutch...sigh, car stalls, in fourth gear....heard a little gear grinding just a little but yea any repercussions stalling in fourth?

I doubt it's much worse than stalling in first...

Train that girlfriend better, though lol

I'd personally be more mad about if she farted in my seat then that........

:rofl2: :iagree:

I'd be beyond pissed if the passenger ever grabbed me when I was driving.

i mean its understandable but regardless stalling in fourth no issue i guess havent stalled in awhile so yea.

Time to buy a new car.

stahhhp it, stahp it neow

:iagree: or drive it off a cliff

Lmao!!

cuff your GF's hands to her ankles until she learns not to touch a mans shifting hand. There is no hand holding in a manual. And the passenger never touches the shifter, just as they would never touch the wheel while the car is in motion.

I like a girl who drives stick, but not like this :eek:

Lol yea i told her to never flip out in the car ever again lol she feels bad

There is no hand holding and all the other stuff BUT she can hold the shifter


My dad learned that too, I think he doesn't know my reaction time is 500 times better than his

Well tell her now she has to play a game for trying to drive for you. It's called just the tip.:tiphat:

Sell the GF for mods.

/thread.

Pics of GF first, then we'll judge if you need to replace her with mods.

:iagree:

I'll trade you HFCs for your bitch

maybe just learn how to drive stick and keep your gf.

I know you guys may just be kidding (or not) or think it is funny but this is not cool. Lets not go sideways on this.

OP. Thanks for sharing. Women just over react sometimes. Better a stall than hitting something or someone.

You're right... sorry.

Take some advice from an old guy that's been married to a nervous gal for 35 years; there's a way to drive when you're alone and there's a way to drive with a passenger. Hopefully you're smart enough to know the difference.

And yeah, totally uncool to grab the shifter or the wheel but you must have scared the he ll out of her to make her do that.

Dump her lol. The problem may stem from you though

Stupid GF :shakes head:

You weren't runnin the Viper long mod were you?...

post pictures of the gf or it didn't happen :)

.....I dunno.....depends exactly what part of the body the passenger is grabbing. :rolleyes:

Get TF Out!
 

Was driving my 240Z home from work one day & the engine started to smoke while in center lane of grid lock. Gees, I was expecting flames to erupt any second while I struggled to get over & off the road. Much grinding occurred but I made it. Yep clutch fluid had sprayed over the engine & burned. I’ve seen “bits” in my transmission fluid in the RX-7 before stuck to the magnetic plug but what can you do. Can’t help to wonder exactly where they came from. Shift on.
But tell the GF to get TF out of your car.

You need to train her to grab the right stick next time.

Lol I wouldn't want any girl to reach for my crock if she's flipping out. What is she grabs too low to hard. Let's avoid that at ask cost fellas

haha. You should've launched it afterwards as payback :D

I cant think of a more appropriate time for a back hand than this

I've conjured with other sports car drivers and we have determined that this is a mild violation of guy code. No hand holding at all in the car, especially if it's a manual. No exceptions, my wife holds my pocket but that's it. I am fully able to shift and maneuver the car as need fit. Your girl's hands should be cuffed to the strut bar lol! All in all I wouldn't worry about it, I've gotten a lot of 5th gear crunch in the winter time and no problems yet at 56k.

Hey man, a very small talk about how to react is OK. I had a winter beater that was a '79 dodge aspen. The passenger door would not latch and when I whipped the back end out on snowy roads the door would open and then snap itself shut. The first time I took my grandma home (about 4 city blocks) she was calling me all kinds of names I cant repeat here lol... oh and i'm sure your care is OK lol

I'd leave her

this is where it gets retarded
 

this is where it gets retarded: From 6th to N to a stop. :iagree:

In neutral do not coast with the clutch in. While approaching stopped traffic use the gears to assist in (sudden) braking. The GF was wrong to put you in a gear but you should have been in gear already. From 6th to N to a stop.

What made her think it was ok to grab part of the car like that? She wouldn't grab the wheel would she? It's basically the same thing because she's panicking and taking control away from the driver. I would be seriously pissed if that happened to me - not because she freaked out but because she shifted for the driver. I'm guessing she doesn't know how to drive manual either because why the f would she shift to 4th? So in that case she's even MORE dumb because she had no idea what her shifting would do to the car. That shows a serious lack of judgement on her part.

I think she went full retard lol.
