After one year I finally succumbed to my turbo envy.

So For Sale is my 2006 SGM RS Wagon.
Aprox 12,000 miles and in overall great condition, two small door dings.
It is being sold completely stock.
Stock wheels have Aprox 1,000 miles.

I will post pictures soon. Please PM me for any information.

Thank you for looking.

 

What are you getting E.?? WRX wagon??

 

lol, I bought a 06 WRX wagon. Its sitting in my carport looking pretty until I figure out the whole stick thing...

 

Sweet!!! BUMP $ ERICA

 

???i thought you had a bike before? its pretty much the same right

 

Nopes, planning on taking the bike class after I learn how to drive the car. I figured it would be easier if I started with a car.

 

from your info, looks like you got a black wrx wagon . i got an aspen white. anyways still goina take bike class? im picking up my helmet soon so ill let you know about taking class if you're still interested.

 

Sweet, now you need to pick up some of these.


LOL, j/k

 

Congrats on the WRX wagon Erica! I did the same thing as you. I only drove a manual car maybe three times for a sum total of about 10 miles then bought my wagon. I didn't even test drive it! Burt did the test driving. Taking it home from the dealer was an experience! I even planned my routes with the least amount amount of inclines as possible. But yeah, it was all worth it. Congrats again!

p.s. Black wagons rule!

 

nice, i say keep the wagon, but if must sell, try craigslist or something free like that first.

 

Definitely let me know
Have you found gloves yet? I have tried on a few pairs and I do not like any of them, not sure what brands are good or bad..

 

LOL, NICE!

 

LOL!!! Great find Elway!! Erica, you should sport that Warning label sticker on your wagon to show the power behind the machine!!

 

LOL... I thought girls analyzed everything?

You can teach yourself how to drive stick if you think about and understand the concept.

In order for you to change gears you need to disengage the clutch. That is done with the extra peddle you have (the clutch peddle). If you're having trouble just getting the car moving make sure you're on a pretty level surface (no incline or decline). Make sure you're not in gear and rest both heels on the floor. Adjust your seat so that you can comfortably push the clutch all the way down and release it without trouble. Get to know how your gas peddle feels and how the engine revs. when comfortable, push in the clutch and put the shifter into first gear. let out the clutch slowly (hence why your heel is resting on the floor) and wait until the car starts to move. Once it starts to move give it gas and when the car starts to actual move forward slowly let out the clutch. A manual cars gas peddle (if you always drive auto) is a little more sensitive than an auto. If you let out the clutch to quickly the car will start to buck. If this happens don't freak out just push in the clutch peddle again and try again. The hardest gears are first and reverse.

This is the way that I taught myself how to drive stick.

I have been driving stick for less than a year now.
