Anyway they called the police and the cops were positive I tried to drive the car and crashed it ... kinda dumb since I knew how to drive a stick since the age of 10 (I think I was 14 at the time)
This was over twenty years ago but yes. Think I was afraid of the jack rabbit start when forgetting it was in gear.
