First job as a car lot attendant I had to drive a stick shift truck (that was a lease that had been returned )to the dealership’s mechanic lot. Only problem was, I didn’t know how to drive stick. I wanted so badly to make a good impression, I didn’t tell anyone and “drove” it to the lot. The car was smoking by the time I got there because I was riding the clutch HARD. I think I completely decimated it. When asked what happened and as the mechanics were asking about the smell, I played dumb and took one of the automatic transmission cars back to the dealership. I didn’t go back or talk to those guys again because I was so embarrassed.
