Okay, we're on the move again.
Ohh! What!?
What happened?
You released it too soon!
Hey guys, so I'm gonna learn to drive stick today.
So the background a little bit, my girlfriend has never driven stick before.
Except the one time she had to drive it in like an emergency when we - when we took it
on a road trip down to Seattle.
Last time it wasn't a really pleasant experience because I felt like it was so overwhelming
in terms of what to do.
The beach was gonna engulf the car and she like, I didn't wanna get my feet wet, so she
got in the car and she got it off the water.
You can drive!
The car was gonna wash away!
Weren't you scared?
So it was pretty cool.
So we'll see how this goes.
And I don't know, it just seems like there's just so many things to do.
Like, okay it's do this, then that, and then something else.
So she's gonna drive it today and I think it's going to be pretty easy for her given
how torque-y the engine is of the M240i.
Guess we'll see, I'm a little bit nervous but yeah, we're just gonna go to
Mitchell Island, which is this like industrial park place.
And I think it's Sunday so it's not gonna be busy at all.
That way it'll give me a lot of room to move around and stuff.
We're gonna eventually hit more public roads but hopefully she'll do fine.
And maybe even hit the highway, I know she's really scared of doing that but she's gonna
have to do it at some point.
I mean, in an emergency, if anything happens to me, she has to drive me to a hospital you know?
I can't just like die on the floor.
Oh it's like I can't drive the car.
But yeah, we'll see how it goes today.
And I know what we're all thinking too, you're like, "bro you suck too".
I've read the comments but you know what, that's just how it's gonna be.
Hopefully she does fine today.
We got our food!
So, I got an eggs benny with asparagus.
And this is the Cora's special I think.
-I don't remember.
Oh no, it wasn't.
Whatever, those are pancakes, sausages, eggs, and toast!
Look at that beautiful 435.
Gorgeous.
Spectacular.
[Music]
Alright, you ready?
Yeah, I guess so.
Okay!
So what are we doing now?
Just start and go?
-Yeah. Let's figure it out.
Okay, here we are.
She's in the driver's seat finally.
You anxious? You excited?
What are you feeling?
I'm a little bit anxious because I feel like I'm gonna stall the car and it's not gonna
be good.
And then also that, there's something, there's been talks about going on the highway, which
I don't wanna do.
I never mentioned such a highway.
[Laughs]
Okay, you know what, first thing we do is put the seat belts on.
Did you do it already?
Nope, but it's so far!
Well that's your fault, we need that robotic arm in the 4 series.
I'm pretty close to the seat but like whatever.
Can I see if you can press all the pedals?
This one?
Is that good?
Yeah, it's a little far.
Look how I have to like, I can't.
Is your heel on the ground?
No.
Oh okay, so you're just feel floating this foot?
-Yeah.
Oh okay.
Keep in mind I also installed the short throw clutch stop.
This should be a lot better technically for her.
Clutch and brake?
Just clutch?
Just clutch is all you need.
Okay.
Shoot!
Okay, here we go.
I don't even remember what to do.
Clutch in, move it to first, clutch out a little bit, start moving, and then gas.
You know what, I'm not even listening, just go.
I'll trust you.
Okay, go for it.
Okay, you good?
She's moving!
Okay, now switch gears around 2000-3000 RPMs.
I'm like holding my breath every time it does that.
Okay, go ahead.
-Switch gears?
-Third, third, third, third.
Okay, hey you're going!
You're going!
How fast are we going?
We're going like 50 km/hr.
We're going 50, we're going 50.
Wait, wait, there's a car coming, can we wait for it to pass first?
That is so far, can you guys even see that car?
I can't either!
So because this car's so torque-y, all you really have to do is release the clutch.
And you'll start moving no matter what.
You can release it all the way at this point.
And now you can just start gassing.
You got this!
Oh, it's a cul-de-sac.
Oh god, there's a car!
Just u-turn, just u-turn.
You're good.
There's a car there, the first obstacle guys.
You can stop here if you want.
Or you can keep going.
So after this we're probably gonnna.
Oh we stalled.
Oh, there's cars here!
What do I do? What'd I do?
You put the clutch in.
Put it in gear, go ahead release clutch slowly.
Kadapada!
What the heck was that?
Kadapada!
I was trying to get to 5th.
I think you're ready for the main roads.
Oh, there's a car.
It's a truck.
Oh what are you doing?
You stopping? -Yup.
Okay.
[Laughs]
How does it feel?
I don't know what I'm doing.
Like do I shift down in consequential gears?
Or...?
No, you can switch down to whatever gear matches your speed really.
And since this car auto rev matches, then you don't have to worry essentially rev matching
the engine to the speed you're going.
You're doing okay.
We'll turn all the nanny stuff off later.
But that's probably for way later.
Yeah this car is very easy to drive.
You can see, she picked it up like right away.
No wonder you could just drive out of the lot.
Okay, come on miss confidence.
Let's go!
Main road.
Take us out, main road!
-No! Let's go!
Main road, let's go!
-No!
What? I drove out of the lot onto main road.
Come on, let's go!
No...
The heck's wrong with her?
She was doing so well.
[Laughs]
What?
Why?
The thought that I have to drive home!
Okay, we're on the move again.
Ohh what?!
What happened?!
You released it too soon!
[Engine revs]
You rev that?
No!
My, it's on the brake!
Okay, let's go.
E-brake is up.
Oh, e-brake is up!
[Laughs]
That's why we stalled.
Oh god, there's a cyclist!
There's a cyclist!
You're okay!
Look how wide the road is!
Oh, I'm just gonna wait for the cyclist.
Okay, you're gonna make him feel awkward but okay.
Say hi to the cyclist.
Hey buddy.
Oh -Oh, he stopped!
He dismounted!
Okay, I'm gonna wait for this truck first.
There's a car behind me.
Stall.
Okay, and this...
Holy ship releasing the clutch way too quickly! Slow down!
If she stalls, or if she kind of jitters too much, then this thing's gonna spill.
I'm barely shaking it and it's about to come out.
And I'm just gonna hold it above my lap.
You're doing that on purpose!
No!
Ah!
Ahh!!
Ah I got a drop on me.
Don't scare me!
Oh oh oh, I'm sorry!
Oh yeah, can you please stop a little....Okay.
Yoooo!
What are you doing?
Why are you like using two hands to get the shifter.
It's really hard!
What are you trying to do?
Go reverse?
Oh yeah, because my clutch isn't in.
Okay, come on...
See her, Okay so your driving is good enough that I'm not gonna get spilled on.
-Oh oh, gotta go!
Gotta go!
Holy ship, that was like red lining the first gear.
Sorry!
Woah!
I didn't even do anything there!
That landed on my hands so that was okay.
Oh yeah, no, thank you, hard turn.
Oh shoot!
I can't see!
It's a lot of water.
Oh the water is landing on the car.
Whatever, that's fine.
3rd, slow down to neutral.
Oh! That was a big drop!
Oh shoot!
There we go, the result of her driving.
It's not so bad.
That's okay.
I mean the glass is still pretty full.
Yeah, that's an optimist for you guys.
[Laughs]
Alright guys, so I'm back in the driver's seat.
Any thoughts?
It was okay.
It was better than I thought it would be.
But still, I don't know.
I don't know if I can actually drive on the highway yet.
Maybe another practice session and then I'll be ready?
It's been a pretty stressful day for you at least right?
Mm-hmm.
Okay so, that's it for now guys.
Thanks for watching, bye!
