Ladies and gentlemen...I give you the world's worst driver

haha...I love when that happens...sort of. I kinda feel sorry for the guys.

I've "raced" plenty of V8 Mustangs and Firebirds and other cars that should clearly accelerate faster than me. But there are a lot of kids out there who get their hands on these quick cars with manual transmissions, but never learn how to speed shift...

Now, I don't have that problem in my car since it's an automatic, so light turns green, I take off while the other guy is slipping his clutch like mad, trying not to spin his tires. We're accelerating in 1st gear, he's gaining on me very quickly, gets to my front wheel then shifts. Several people have done this, and their shift takes them 2 or 3 seconds! In that time, their car is slowing its acceleration while I'm continuing to accelerate. They finally catch the next gear and again, gain on me like crazy. They get to my front wheel and shift again, just as slowly as before....

People need to learn to shift
