Trucking with RVqueen: how to drive a standard

[batfly]

OMG I died laughing! Your facial expressions are so hilarious! You could definitely out do Sarah Silverman if you ever did stand up comedy!

[GoldenFinchFellow]

lol second kid at the end "just like you when you grow, Mom" good recovery! they will look out for each other growing up, a good team haha

[StarrJaded]

LMAO, that was cute ;)

I have a big ford diesel too =) Woot =)

[deviousconkerer]

Something must have been done to that Ford; usually the standards are wicked easy to drive.

[anthonynami2]

your cute

[wormkilla]

Awsome! lol..That look's like this park I used to take photo's in..That's not around henryetta is it?

[Wadds13]

Just been watching your videos and it's nice to see someone full of life and enjoying themselves , I like singing myself but don't know how to go about it on here , would like some advice : )

[IWannabeJew]

I hate that first gear. Every other gear is easy.

I actually took a 1 hour trip and back by timing my approach to the lights so that I could drive on through.

[RVqueen]

Sometimes I skip 1st. My truck drives beautifully now that I know how! It has never died on me, but I do think it annoys other drivers. OH WELL!

[pinkxvenom]

LOL! this was funny :]

your kids are cute :]

[choichik1]

I did this yesterday! lol. I feel your pain...

[RVqueen]

Actually I'm not. When I was a kid my hair was blonde, but it changed by the time I was 8.

[sunflowerssunshowers]

Oh yeah, and I drove all the way to work three times with my e-brake on the first week I had my car...So, uh...don't feel bad Rayna :) We love you anyways.

[sunflowerssunshowers]

So I did try this at home. About nine months ago I purchased my first car and it just so happened to be a five-speed. I drove it cross-country after only have two lessons on it, and let me tell you, the streets of San Francisco were unforgiving. I almost took out a parked bus. The double-decker, accordian kind. Good thing it was 10pm when this all happened. I do okay with it, it's better to give it more gas than less clutch, especially if you have a loose clutch. I think.

[jayleon07]

Ha Ha. that was funny because each time i thought "the cars gonna move this time". how did you mount your camera?

[RVqueen]

I thought it would move, too. LOL

I set it on the dash.

[jojo808]

This is sooo my Mom too=D.

[RVqueen]

THANKS, Larry! We had fun.

[deeryker]

Ola again Queen of stuff and things.Ive been away again,,just back from Lisbon and Latvia.The truck gig is cool,you are up to your usual entertaining standards,,, stay cool,,,and do post shots of the truck exterior,,,B

[Sarcophangus]

It takes serious precision to drive a standard with the parking brake on ... I've got an SX 2.0 (fancy name for a Neon...) I managed to get 3 blocks from work once with the brake on :P When I first got that car there were 2 times I was most likely to stall it:

1. When I was ahead of a taxi

2. Ahead of a cop!

[RVqueen]

WOW 3 blocks is truly impressive. I salute you.

[garzaeduardo]

wow,sounds like a diesel!you must be doing ok,since you got a 30 gal tank and it;s$5.25 a gallon.right on.

[RVqueen]

My other diesel we fueled with (free) used vegetable oil. This one isn't set up for that yet. To save on fuel I just stay home! :D

[garzaeduardo]

another thought,"truckin with the rv queen"sounds like a good song,take out that guitar and get after it.

[mnaz21]

Funny vid!

[ambervisions]

NEVER GROW UP MOM! LOVE YOU!DI:)

[RVqueen]

It's great having kids who always believe in you! Thanks, Di!

[ambervisions]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah Girl! You left the parking brake on? I love you so much little mama! I wish we lived close to each other! We'd have so much fun! Di:)

[antunkatona]

I like your your truck! The inside of it anyway... Now I understand why we have so many truck accidents around here! Anyway, your videos make me laugh every time so keep up the funny stuff!

[RVqueen]

I'll send you some pics of my truck's amazing exterior!

I'm glad I can do something funny for you, my friend.

[FaeryComeDraw]

Hey, you're doing better than me. I don't even drive at all.

Don't you just love kids when they say things like "an old lady like you?"

I got my first pair a bifocals today. I'm feeling seasick.

[ambervisions]

LOL.....I just got mine too. waaah...I dont like em! (Ive still been just using my reading glasses...)Peace! Di:)

[Roseofpearl]

were YOU PRAAYING WHEN YOU COULDNT GET THE TRUCK STARTED. If not you should be..............lol ! !  !

[Possumlivingdotcom]

Love that diesel sound! BTW, that's probably one of those transmissions you start in 2nd gear under most conditions, and only use 1st to start a heavy trailer & stuff like that. Granny 4 speed. Most of the time you drive it like it's a 3 speed. Those are my favorite transmissions.

[RVqueen]

Thanks for the tip, Tracy! One of my friends (whose dad was a real trucker) was driving it in town (super smoothly) and she never touched 1st gear at all.

It's actually very easy to drive, once you let the brake out.

[bbbleaver]

this vid won't work for me. :(

[creedgaming]

Diesel?

[RVqueen]

Creed, I ONLY drive diesels. ;) But my other was an automatic Mercedes... and the tranny needs work. So this is an upgrade to a more reliable transmission.

[tjkoz22]

Hey lady, goin' my way? How 'bout a lift? How 'bout a push?!

[proteanview]

Is that a chick behind the wheel?

Hey, check out that broad in the pick-up!

[RVqueen]

Peeps do stare, but I think they are asking themselves if it is safer to go around or to just stay out of the way!

[ambervisions]

I drive my husbands pick-up all the time! I love it! I have a volvo.....which I love.....but sometimes I like being a bit higher up in traffic! LOL And the little girls like to make noises because the ride is so bumpy..makes singing more fun! Love you! Di:)

[ambervisions]

unfortunately where I live is very spread out and not very bike friendly.....so I only go out when I really need to. But we do have some cool bike trails by the river! Thats alwys fun! DI:)

[RVqueen]

Same here, Di. I rarely go anywhere, and when I do it is quite a drive.

[Weaseldog2001]

Let me guess again, Big Bill Broonzy?

[RVqueen]

nope... Kansas Joe!

When the Levee Breaks... or for me, BRAKES

;)

[solrman]

Hey RVqueen! My first inclination when you tried to start and it wouldn't go was to reach for the emergency break. I knew you would find it? Hey, are you running that motorized chicken coop on churches grease trap fuel? Yer Friend - solrman

[spencerbaer]

Now that's a family outing~! haha

[RVqueen]

Hey Spence! We just survived my first trip driving The Monster Truck into town.

Success!

[BorgKaraoke]

Thinking is painful for me too :) Next time take the mini-van :)

***** & Faved!

~Larry

[RVqueen]

Thanks Larry!

:D

This IS my mini-van.

Say a little prayer, cause I'm driving to the library this morning... first time on the highway. GULP

[BorgKaraoke]

The prayer has gone up my friend (as far as it will climb anyway LOL) :)

[Roman999999999]

I knew it was a hand brake, hahaha

[RVqueen]

And that's why men rule the world. LOL

[DeeJayemet]

Hahah great video.

[RVqueen]

it was a painful moment... but I was determined not to turn off the camera

[angedimeno]

You mean that's the way it happened and wasn't put on for the Camera .. :)

[RVqueen]

This is 100% REAL RAYNA. The sad thing is that this wasn't the first time I'd done that. :(

Today I started to leave the feed store without paying... it was an accident.

[angedimeno]

It doesn't move .. I saw an old lady park...

where old ladies go, like you ..

Just like you when you grow up, Mom!

priceless ... :)

[RVqueen]

I told you my kids are cute.

[RVqueen]

They're also smarter than I am... which makes things challenging sometimes.
