manual car
i just got a manual car yesterday and i can drive it pretty well. i just have trouble starting at stoplights and such. i put it into 1st gear and let out my clutch slowly while applying the gas. the engine starts revving really high, but when i start moving it goes really slow. it takes about 2 blocks for me to reach 25 mph. what am i doing wrong?
the car is a 2002 hyundai accent with only 60,000 miles on it, if that helps

watch your RPM's. when they get to about 4000 or so, push the clutch pedal in, shift into second gear and take the clutch out, then again around the same RPM range of 4000-4500 when going into third, fourth, and fifth.

Shift. You need to shift it into second gear almost
as soon as you get going. You think it is revving to high then its past time to shift. :)
