- Rhasha Drives
It will start to roll, so hold onto
your steering wheel. After you build up
speed, push on your clutch, and shift to
second gear. You just keep doing
that-push on the clutch, shift to the
next gear, and let out on the clutch.
But, he added, at all times, watch
where youre going.
Rhasha stuck her tongue out
at him and smiled. She pushed in on the
clutch and with a little difficulty,
finally got it into first gear. She
slowly let up on the clutch and pushed on
the accelerator, but nothing happened.
Did you forget
something? Jim asked.
Rhasha had a puzzled look
on her face. I dont think so.
I did everything you told me to do.
Would you like to
start the jeep, Rhasha?
Well, Rhasha
said huffily, you didnt
bother to tell me to do that. She
kissed him to take the sting out of her
words and started the motor.
When Rhasha let out on the
clutch, the jeep took off perfectly and
she had control of the steering wheel.
She tried to shift to second gear, but
the gears ground.
Sweetheart, you need
to push in on the clutch before you
shift.
Rhasha pushed in on the clutch and
shifted to second. She had very little
problem with the other gears. She drove
down the road very well, even though the
jeep weaved a few times. She was only
driving thirty-five miles per hour when
they saw the main road ahead of them. The
stop sign was about thirty-five yards in
front of her.
Jim, Rhasha
said, do I need to slow down to
make that turn ahead?
You have to stop at
the main road.
