Thrown Back into the Fire that is Manual ...

Here's a quick recap of round two of driving manual (alone!) ... and yes, this time the assignment was more difficult:

• The Boy needed someone to re-park his car (a Subaru WRX) to the other side of the road while he was away. Street cleaning was the reason.
• WRX was currently sandwiched between two cars.
  
• The Boy's roommate knows how to drive stick, but couldn't move it 'cause he doesn't have a license in the States. I'm the opposite. We made the worst combination. He stayed in the apartment while I went out to attempt the impossible by myself.
• I propped a pillow in front of the car that's behind the WRX.
• Going backwards actually went smoothly. I had perfect control with the reverse gear.
• But I stalled going forward while trying to get out of the spot.
• People were walking by.
  
• Cars were driving by.
• I got over my embarrassment.
• I stalled about 5 more times before I finally got out of the spot.
• Continued to roll forward (still in 1st gear) and made a clean U-turn into a perfect parking spot behind a line of cars.

That's all ...
