    No, manual. Leave for TX two weeks from today. I don't want an auto restriction on my license. I can drive 4wheeler manual. So it is just learning to double clutch and forgetting what I already know about shifting.

    This is the product that I have. Run the two channel model. The second cam is on the passenger side mirror looking back. Not the cheapest, it is a good solid unit, works very well.

    When the truck got hit last year, sent the video to the company. They paid in full, no questions.

    Double clutching will be your first lesson out on the highway. Floating gears will be your next one.

    I don't touch the clutch unless I come to a complete stop or I'm starting out.

    I prefer being dehydrated, the dizzy spells are the closest thing to a buzz I ever get.

    I had found this video and it was a good example of double clutch and also seems like a good way to get in the "habit."

    That's absolutely right. This is what you need to learn at first. Then you can get weird with it.

    While your with a trainer. Do everything by the book. Both hands on the wheel and so on. After the trainer is gone can you resume your bad habits like when the window is down, having your left hand hold onto the mirror.

    Tested Azdome GS63H dash camera on my wife car. Good quality, GPS track, WI-FI connection, 4 days to overwrite.
    They have dual camera option.
