today i drove my dad to the mechanics house to get his vw golf. damn its cute! he bought a 5 speed honda about 3 days prior but then he saw this vw for $900 & i guess he just liked it a lot more- i sure do. anyway, when we got back to the house, he was like “wanna learn how to drive it?” i really really wasnt expecting that, because it had just started to rain a little. but he did!! we went to a warehouse area & i learned in about 15 min. i still have a little trouble sometimes taking off at 1st, but the only way to learn is by practicing. i tried to learn in 2001, my boyfriend at the time had a 5 speed… but he didnt have much patience as i was fucking up his car, i guess. i’m really glad my dads teaching me. good times. i’ll never forget it. just like when he taught me how to ride a bike.

my dad just bought a 96 vw golf, because his 8 cylinder truck was guzzling too much gas… he still has his truck, the vw is only for to and from work. He’s already mentioned teaching me how to drive it. he’s off on the weekends, so hopefully i’ll get to learn a little bit tomorrow, or next weekend.
