  • I’ve never driven a car that couldn’t do this, and I’ve driven at least a dozen manual transmission cars and trucks, all gas. Hell my beater right now doesn’t have first gear, and I have no problems starting in second just idling. You just need to be really slow and attentive to your rpms. Not that you should always start rolling like this, but I agree with the comment above that it’s an excellent learning exercise. I always start with this one when I teach other people how to drive stick with great success, and I wish that I started with this exercise when I was learning.











  • I’m usually the diy sort, sometimes when it’s not even worth it economically just because I enjoy the satisfaction and experience. I admit that I’ve never fit a hat before, but given this one’s history I have to agree with the other commenters: If this hat really is that special to you, take it to a pro. You don’t want the guilt of accidently destroying something that valuable to you and your family.

    If you must do this yourself, find some old shitty hats that you don’t give a fuck about to practice on first, and research the hell out of it, learn and experience everything you can before you even touch that hat
