Look. I never said I was a professional driver or anything. You said that's not a problem, that I just park the cars. That it's an easy job. I also told you I've never driven a stick shift. I know the theory, but it's not like I've ever driven anything really except my 2003 Camry, and it's an automatic. And it's not exactly a sports car. Remember? You said it's not a big deal. "Pop the clutch, hit the gas, and go park the man's Jaguar already," you said. Yelled it, actually. So really, I think this is on you.
