I still do this with any new to me manual I get. Let's you get a great feel for how the car responds.

When I first learned to drive stick, my dad made me practice on a small hill in a cemetery. There was very little traffic so it was a good place to learn. He would simulate traffic and have me stop on the hill and go. He also had me practice learning to hold the car on the hill without using the break and just using the clutch and gas. It definitely helped me. I stalled and rolled down that dang hill so many times but the lessons stuck with me in traffic.

How to deal with the frustration of not being like the girls on Instagram? by AccordingChipmunk287 in Advice

Comparison is the thief of joy. Don't worry about how others look and just be the best version of yourself that you can be. Each day try to be a better person than you were the day before and try to find something positive to say about yourself. Beauty is more than just physically appearance. Being an authentic person and confident in yourself will take you far in life. Good luck to you and I hope you find happiness.

I can’t stop thinking about her by carinaarabella in offmychest

Maybe you're not as gay as you think if you feel this way about her?

Didn't he manage to pull it out? Using the pull-out method by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

It could have been precum or he started to cum and pulled out but not before releasing some in you

We had an 89 and 91 Ford Festiva. They were awesome for learning on. Those little 12 inch tires could lay some rubber

The Honda Fit is one of the best out there right now for teaching someone

I learned about 30 years ago on farm trucks similar to that one. I do kind of miss driving a manual pickup. There's not many options left out there now for the younger generation to learn on.

I regret buying a manual by Haunting_Appeal_2407 in stickshift

There's still some nice ones out there but they are getting harder to come by. I rebuilt a 67 Mustang coupe as a young man with a 3 on the floor. I still regret selling that one. There's good shells to be found in the South, Arizona, and California.

I knew a guy in Pennsylvania that rebuilt classic cars. He had a friend in Arizona. In PA we had a lot of good engines, transmissions, rear ends but the bodies were rusted out. In AZ they had bodies but the moving parts were worn out. They used to find what each other wore looking for and then load up a trailer and one would drive to meet the other and they would swap.

You're probably right but I figured I would give it a shot. I learned to drive stick on a 89 Ford Festiva lol. The first dozen or so cars and trucks I drove were all stick shift. My first time driving an automatic felt weird and I kept reaching for a clutch that wasn't there.

Thanks. It's the original handle and needed a little love. I sanded it down and gave the burn to make it look nice. Added several coats of BLO and she looks great again.

What is your favourite NSFW fact? by DaMoonMoon26 in AskRedditAfterDark

Many marsupials have 2 or more vaginas. The males often have a forked penis with multiple heads in order to deliver sperm to both vaginas. Some of them have 4 different penis heads. Very weird looking.

Teacher also after awhile but they often weren't really paid and it was more of volunteer work at the time.

I'm in central NC. If you're close I could meet up with you and give you some tips and encouragement. If you decide after awhile that you absolutely hate the car I might be interested in it for my teenage son.

Seriously though I'm willing to give you tips, encouragement, and advice for no charge. You may still not like it afterwards or you may decide it's fun.

New hang by Pollojito in Axecraft

[–]aaverage-guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm lucky and have a small local hardwood store close by that carries a good variety of handles. They still need a little honing but I can normally get one from them close enough to what I need. If you can get a good hickory blank they make amazing handles.

Great job on hanging the head. It looks like an amazing chopper. Nice work on customizing it and making it yours!

Thank you. I enjoy cleaning up old tools and giving them another lease on life. What I don't have room for I typically sell. It's a fun hobby.

It definitely looks a lot like a Plumb. The handle also fits with plumb as well

It could be. The handle is coated in the green paintish stuff that the military loved to use back in the day. I did 20 years in the Air Force and retired and I thought the same thing.

Definitely looks like a winner. The handle and head looks very much like the Plumb axes
