Thanks for the tag @The_Penniless_Author
1. It‘s complicated: I learned to drive a stick on an Allis Chalmers tractor with a double clutch. I would have to practice with a car. 😂
2. The tagged book a cross country road trip and a lot about Dean Moriarty aka IRL Neal Cassadys ability to drive all night , park cars close together in a pay lot backwards & fast! I also thought of the film Thelma & Louise.
Everybody play!

Sisters, Saints and Sibyls Women of the Beat
"If you want to understand Beat women, call us transitional-a bridge to the next generation, who in the 1960's, when a young woman's right to leave home was no longer an issue, would question every assumption that limited women's lives and begin the long, never-to-be-completed work of transforming relationships with men." Joyce Johnson

My Education: A Book of Dreams | William S. Burroughs

Mehso-so

There are moments of brilliance with some beautiful turns of phrase, and best when reading is uninterrupted. Unfortunately, some of it is barely accessible- you read for feel not content. Burroughs is not for everybody.

The Dharma Bums | Jack Kerouac

My new favorite Jack Kerouac book. As you follow the story of Ray and his friends you feel like you are right there experiencing everything too.
