The car was banned from the road yesterday because of the Unified Vehicular Volume Reduction Program (UVVRP) aka number coding. Since I was attending my grand aunt’s funeral, I figured I’ll ride with James. But he turned out to be sick and couldn’t attend. So I had to borrow and drive his car which is a stick. It’s not that I don’t drive stick but it’s been quite long time since I have driven one. Interestingly, I’ve driven a whole bunch of other cars and they’re ALL sticks. The only auto I’ve ever driven was my car. But fortunately, it seems I haven’t forgotten the basics and I was able to drive around albeit with some jerkiness and quite a few engine stalls. At the end of the day, though my left leg was aching, I was glad I can still do manual mode.
