RE: I am going to cry!
Well, this thread just reinforced my thoughts about teaching my brother stickshift... so long as he can't make it 10 feet in my car, he can't do much damage. Not to mention that he curbed his wheels bad enough that you could hear a really loud grinding noise coming off the wheel for about 3 seconds.
I hit one of those parking spot cement stoppers once and scratched my lower a bit, but I reacted quick enought that it didn't mess the bumper up.
