    How'd you learn to drive stick? On an e30, of course!

    I'd recognize that pedal assembly anywhere:

        Not only do I recognize those pedals, I know where they stole the picture from. They were modified by Gustave in his E30 M3 shown here:



        Oh I learned on my 318iS. Before that I had experiences with a '71 Triumph TR6 I drove when my dad was out of town.

                  The first one I ever drove without being coached was my first car. 1982 SAAB 900.

                  Every day I wake up we drink a lot of coffee and watch the CNN
                  Every day I wake up to a bowl of clover honey and let the locusts fly in.

                  Beams of darkness streak across the sky
                  Pink rays from the ancient satellite
                  Every time I look out my window same three dogs looking back at me.
                  Every time I open my windows cranes fly in to terrorize me.

                    I learned on a new 2000 Plymouth Neon (then new) that had 6 miles on it. I worked at a Chrysler dealership and my manager wanted me to learn manual since it was part of the job.

                    Whoever got that car bought it with toast clutch with no more than 20 miles on it :rofl:

                            Nice we had a brown one, but pops sold it before I could drive to finish our bathroom. So one of these days I'm gonna buy one again and fix it up for him.

                            Anyways back on topic. I learned on a 1992 Plymouth Sundance, which i purchased for $100.
