I agree with the author that driving a stick-shift is hard to learn and do. I can relate to this a little bit because Blake let me shift his jeep while he drove it. I understand what the author is trying to explain because it is difficult driving a stick-shift car. I'm not surprised about how the author reacts to driving because I still think that it is difficult. I don't really see the same issue in my life or around school because not many people still drive manual vehicle. This article is written well with much information provided and explained through imagery by the author. The arguments are strong and valid mainly because it is her opinion but they're also explained well. I'm not left confused by anything because I have experience with this and it is also explained well through details and imagery.
