Judging by his launch he can definately drive a stick... Not sure about the burnout or missed shifts, it's hard to say. Maybe one too many brewskis?

I can understand missing 3rd, but how the hell do you ever miss the 1-2 shift?!? That is the easiest one ever. But he got a good launch. hmm

I miss first to second because of my syronizer(sp) going out. I have to really make sure I get it in there before letting out the clutch at high rpm.
