Manual Transmission is hard

So earlier today, I had a driving lesson. Like my last one, it was because some guys in my connection group decided that I needed to learn how to drive. Unlike my last one, they didn't surprise me with the lesson.

When the guy pulled up, he was driving a BMW. Unfortunately, it was a stick-shift. About half of the driving lesson was trying to figure out how to actually get moving--I kept letting the clutch out too fast. I sort of got the hang of it, and managed to not hop any curbs--an improvement on my last driving lesson. We'll see if another lesson actually happens--hopefully with an automatic.

But hey, I can now say I've driven a Beemer. How many people with only two driving lessons can say that?
