Going 150 and moving into sixth gear on a vet in real life, is a fucking ball clenching experience. In a videogame it means your begining to not be bored... Play racing games for fun. Learn all about the mechanics of a car if your so inclined, before you drive. Same as play starcraft for fun. Learn about war in the army. | ||

I really doubt it will negatively affect your driving, although it definitely won't help it. I don't drive a stick-shift, but your going to need a long while before you're good at it. Driving is all about practice. | ||

Most people will at least stall a few times etc when learning from scratch... don't make it sound like you are a moron if you can't drive it almost instantly. i said that day... as in I had practiced in a parking lot for a while before hand. And of course EVERYONE will stall a few times. I have had my fair share of painful stalls. Just avoid stoplights on hills and all will be good :D. | ||

Half of driving is feeling. How do you know that you took a corner too fast or that your messing up ure gear shifts? Because your body feels it when your driving. Racing games cant simulate the feeling of driving, only the actions. Its very easy to draw the line between what you do in a game and what you do in real life. | ||

Eh, I learned how to drive stick in a day too. You're all giddy for a new car, so you spend the whole day driving. Granted, it took like a week or two to master, but I could at least get where I needed to go | ||
