I can relate to "Stick with it" by "Milea Anderson" in the March issue, in her article she describees the troubles of driving/starting a stick shift truck. I grew with my grandparents on a ranch in Coyote Canyon New Mexico (Navajo reservation). I can remember the first time my grandfather taught me how to drive a stick shift truck. I don't know how many times I stalled or kilt the engine. "As I push in the clutch again and shift into first gear, I cheer on the truck:" Come on, please go!"My wish is granted,the truck moves forward approximately two yards before it dies again" Milea writes. My grandfather's advice was "the clutch and the truck can be replaced if you break it but you can't be replaced...". In the end it's fun to try something new and it's always great to accomplish your goal. Also learn from your mistakes and never give up. Thank you,Milea. We both can relate to each other on grinding gears and killing the engine.
