As long as you don’t get car jacked 🙃 saw a headline a few months ago (a year ago?) That a young man got shot and killed because a car jacker couldn’t steal his car.
A little unnerving in Chicago where car jackings are relatively frequent.
Yeah well it’s hard when you hear all your life if you mess up once you blow the transmission,.which is a several grand repair, nobody with a manual will ever let you practice on their car and well hey automatics are everywhere and don’t have that headache.
I’ve nearly shifted into 2nd gear from 4th before, the car was NOT happy, but there were no explosions. Granted, I didn’t fully let up the clutch, but still. Mistakes happen.

I’m sorry that happened to you. IMO folks are way more precious about their manual transmissions than they need to be. I’ve taught several people to drive stick – including myself, in a brand-new car I drove home from the dealer in rush-hour stop-and-go traffic – and it’s never hurt anything. (That brand-new car still had its original clutch when it was sadly totaled by a falling tree, 100k miles later.)
Nah, you just can’t without being a complete psychopath I guess force in a too wrong gear, the sync won’t be able to spin so fast that you can actually put in a ridiculous gear.
Nah, they just don’t want you to drive their car. Chance of a money shift is extremely low, and it doesn’t usually happen while learning. Money shifts really happen when you are trying to drive too fast, and you downshift more than 2 gears quickly. Most learners have trouble keeping the RPMs up high enough to money shift. I was perpetually shifting at 1.3k when learning and you can pretty much go from 6 to 2 without money shifting at those low revs.
That’s the clutch and brake pedals…
USA citizen having no clue about the existence of manual gear-box in vehicles, probably.
US stick driver here, equally disappointed in the picture.
I think it makes the whole meme funnier personally
If you step on those pedals at the same time the car is just going to stop, that’s all, nothing funny.
Should’ve been gas and clutch for a nice big rev
Vvvvrrrrooooommm
Same.
But at least my car is less likely to get stolen!

There are literally dozens of us!
I didn’t see you at the convention in Munich last year.
They just added the caption. If the creator of this were capable of making the drawing, they would do something more with their life than memes.
You can’t find an image of pushing the brake and throttle at the same time on wikihow.
Huh, I’m a little surprised it doesn’t have articles on left-foot braking for racing or brake torque launches for drag-racing.
I haven’t driven a stick in over a decade and this meme upsets me.

They may have exaggerated the risk of a money shift a tiny bit. Stalling is easy, but blowing the car up has to be hard.

You would really have to do it on purpose to blow up your transmission. These guys had to try pretty hard
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

That’s not true, a money shift is very rare.
If you were near me I would help you learn on any of my stick vehicles, it’s pretty easy one you have some practice.

And reverse is usually not synced so even harder.

Third pedal is there tho
The third pedal becomes invisible to the ignorant minds.

The fools, this actually reboots the car into safe mode!
Joke appart, this is the proper way to do an emergency braking.
And if you have an acceleration-activated dash-cam this could cause it to trigger, which is as near to a screenshot as you’re getting!
Wow, this post isn’t even a meme anymore at this point !
Exactly. They take a screenshot.
