We last left off where Seth decided to go to Valor on his black dragon Erath. And when he got there...And if anyone forgot the story, Kyan found his long lost friend Seth on Valor, and his black dragon Erath. Kyan is a mamkute that can still use swords as well as dragon stone attack.

Finally got the papers for it.

Using my father's old BMW. At first, the engine just stopped all the time since I couldn't keep the gas and clutch right, but eventually, I got it rolling and turning. First day, I just drove like 25 meters, turned, drove a bit, turned, etc. Too little space to get out of gear 1.

Second day, I had a bit more space, and I also tried backing around corners, which was tricky. Eventually, I got up in gear 2, and I managed to drive about 200 meters on a low traffic road (Only 2-3 meetings in total, and I did it thrice). Tried up to gear 4, and hey, I could keep the car on the road, turn, etc. Gonna take some payed lessons later, but I want to actually be able to gas, turn, and do the basic stuff without problems first.

My mother has a pretty new Jeep, but it's automatic, and I obviously want to get a proper license for driving geared cars.


Discuss or don't.

Most things get easier in higher gears, actually. At first it'll feel like OH SHI- speeds, but it's pretty easy. Dangerous if you do get it wrong, of course.

Well, the problem at first was that I had no feel for the revolving count so I watched the meter all the time, but eventually I got it.

Possibly going to drive more today if I feel better and my father comes home some time.
