Not only embarrassing but 8 valves were probably not enough anymore, I guess you needed some new ones after that.

I've only done it on my own once. Parents picked up my first manual car for me, I got home and figured I'd just go for it and take it around the block.

Normally they're just a nuisance on the road but this one time, I didn't have my car and I actually had to use public transit. It was awful.

What is the sound your mother made last night?

TCS I might believe but ABS not so much. I'm pretty sure that's been standard equipment on cars for quite a long time (save for perhaps the cheapest, most basic commuters), if not mandatory.
