hrrrm well the people I’m going to this festival with have decided they can spread their gear across a few people and I won’t need to rent a car to go with them. A bit of a bummer cos I was looking forward to driving, I like long drives and I can’t drive the shared car cos it’s a manual.
Part of me still wants to rent the car anyway, but it’s $483 I’ll be saving over 5 days, which could go towards buying a car eventually… on the other hand if I have my own car I can bail first if I want to and take whatever I want. I’ve got one more week to decide…
I genuinely do not understand the terror of manual, and I got my license at 29.
Driving schools can help if no friend is willing to risk their gearbox, you get a plate of ‘driver under instruction’ rather than an L
I actually don’t mind manual per se, I’ve done a few lessons in it and was meaning to properly learn it this year. But I don’t think I’m confident learning it in less than 2 weeks for a long drive in someone else’s car…

Fair. It’s much more of a Thing city driving than long distance. You can not shift for hours sometimes.
