Stick Shift Tips Alright so last week I bought my first stick shift car, a 96 Miata (Miata master race) and within the first day of owning it I pretty much got driving stick down. I'm able to drive pretty much anywhere (hills, highway, in traffic) without stalling so I would say I'm pretty okay, but my problem is I can't seem to drive smoothly. Every time I shift from 1st to 2nd and sometimes 2nd to 3rd the car would jolt a little. I'm shifting at around 3-3.5k rpm each gear if that matters. Any tips on how to shift smoother basil? And just any tips in general for a new stick driver :D

What would happen if I dont pay a civil demand? I got caught stealing a $10 hat from H&M because this noob employee forgot to take off the plastic detector from a shirt I did buy (sheer bad luck :|). They found out because I walked into a store that had a detector which chimed when I entered and chimed when I left. The undercover secuirity team stopped me and searched my bags which they found the stolen hat. I admitted to stealing it because I was scared, aha. They didn't call the police, but they did make me write my info down and take a picture of me... and called my mom xD (I'm 17). They said I was banned from all H&Ms and that I have to pay a civil demand ranging from $200-$1000 coming in the mail... I'm wondering what would hap

It was a car accident. Nothing particularly remarkable, but fatal nonetheless. You left behind a wife and two children. It was a painless death. The EMTs tried their best to save you, but to no avail. Your body was so utterly shattered you were better off, trust me. And that’s when you met me. “What… what happened?” You asked. “Where am I?” “You died,” I said, matter-of-factly. No point in mincing words. “There was a… a truck and it was skidding…” “Yup,” I said. “I… I died?” “Yup. But don’t feel bad about it. Everyone dies,�
