OhmsLawn@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Driving a manual: is it difficult?2·3 days agoUnless you’re OK with looking foolish in front of your boyfriend’s dad, I would rent an automatic. You also have the possibility of damaging the clutch if you’re not careful.
That said, it shouldn’t take more than an afternoon to get the hang of it, so, either way.

Our little dog used to let out these long, shuddering sighs when she was frustrated. I used to repeat it back to her, and picked up the habit. Even though we had to put her down a year and a half ago, I still occasionally let out her sigh.

Every time I take a day off midweek, it feels like doubling the number of weeks in the week, rather than reducing the number of days.
