Default How Adaptable Are You

How long does it take to get use to driving a car?

Like; it wouldn't matter if the car was new or second hand, auto or manual but how many hours of driving do ya reckon it would take?

Ok, it's an open ended question but say ya Dad or Mum or Misses just took ya new car for a spin would you feel safe? Would you care? Or would it be a question of, if you have a licence just go for it.

Agreed. This thread = Fail.

And for the record also, it's spelt "USED TO" not "USE TO". Unless of course you meant to say 'HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE YOUSE GUYS".

Reguardless. I want my now almost a minute back from reading and typing this post. I'll call the time it took to type this post "interest" on top of reading time.

took me about 2 weeks to change gears smoothly in my ss when i got it due to a hd clutch and i drove in peak hour.
then it took me another week nearly to get used to the new clutch i had put in.
other ppl just cant seem to drive my car properly for some reason, probably cos im always next to them bitching about how they drive.
i say **** like rev it a bit higher before you grab second, or, sometimes im mor elike rev it to 4 grand a drop the clutch and ffs dont forget to counter steer lol

and btw my car is real hard to drive for some reason, my mate whos 35 and has had numerous worked v8's with stallies and some manuals cant seem to get the hang of it and hes not exactly a **** driver

one person who can actually drive my car is a chick i know but shes a bit of a boy (rides dirt bikes) but shes pretty good looking and id do her anytime anywhere lol
sorry for going off topis there lol

Learn to double-clutch/heel-toe & apex properly, you can drive anything.

Except my car. Only I can do that, your all mere mortals.
