I stalled many times when i barely started driving stick. But what was funny was that i drove an automatic after driving the stick shift, and not once but twice i stomped on the brake thinking it was the clutch lol.......funny funny day

I bought my 5 speed brand new and drove it out of the showroom. Until then, I had almost never driven a standard, so I did the wave on my way out of the showroom, and promptly stalled it in the middle of the lot. Not my proudest moment.

stalling in the wendys drive through
OMG I did that two days ago. I had just payed at the first window and moved up to the second window. I thought I had taken it out of gear adn the girl was about to hand me my Huge tub-o-rootbeer and I let off the clutch. Damn near spilled the whole thing on my lap. LOL

Haha, must be something about wendy's. I did that after only driving my truck (manual) for like a month maybe. I haven't killed it for over 6 months though yay me lol

when i first got my current car..i had to drive from tampa down and across over to where i lived on the east coast of florida. previously i only had two cars and both were autos. after being on the highway for a few hours, i come up to a toll booth and completely forgot about the whole stalling bit...haha stalled right out in front of the person in the booth since i just stopped it like an auto.[sm=headbang.gif]

i've stalled about 10 times in total with my car...as i learnt to drive standard with this car. i had only learnt a bit with my father's new mustang(SUPER long and touchy clutch) a weeks prior to picking up my car. the wworst time i stalled my car was back in october 06, i was at the mcdonalsd's drive thru. and as my key lock i broken, i can take my key out of the ignition anytime, so i was about to leave for a 200mile trip so i took out the key, i stalled in the mcdonald's drive thru. but when u stall everyone starts up their car asap hoping noone seen them. i had to look for my keys to restart my car. so every one knew i stalled and there was a big line up behind me. s'all good...

wow..i've stalled prob 20 times since i got my car in the past 2 weeks. it's nothing to be ashamed of..or maybe it is. haha...it's really embarassing esp when u stall at an intersection cuz u let off the cluth too fast hoping u won't stall. but it's just a part of learning. i actually stalled in my driveway too..thinking the car was in neutral i braked to park and then BOOM...stall. lucky me. but i LOVE driving standard now.[:'(]

Well I got a pretty bad one... a long time ago I just installed a new engine in my VW and was revving it up like you always do when you put a new engine in your car, the only thing is... is that i did not know it was in gear because you have to push the clutch in to start it, and I never leave it in gear when I park (my friend who parked the car in the shop does) so I slide my foot to the left off the pedal at about 5000 rpm... needless to say the launched forward! VW engnies have a crap load of torque, so I do mean it literally, it left tire marks on the concrete... I felt bad for my friend who was in front of the car (not too close) he practically **** his pants! lol i think that was my worst stall ever... lol
