I dont know why some people can't drive stick. It's the only thing I drive. I hate automatic.

0:58 "I have a little problem" If a grown man doesn't know how to drive a stick shift that's a HUGE problem

***** Most people in the US do know how to drive a manual they just prefer not to. A ton of folks from the baby boomer generation grew up driving manuals. Real issue is traffic primarily in major cities, you have to love driving a manual to drive one now days. Automatics offer more/easier convenience ie: using a phone while driving is much easier with an automatic. Practically everyone uses their phone while driving to text,call,check email, play music,check apps etc. Manufacturers have moved away from manuals, it's hard to find a new Porsche in a manual unless you get a Cayman or GT3. Brands like Infiniti have partnered with Mercedes and have eliminated manual options even though the manual was popular in previous generations.

I can't tell you how much I appreciate that! Thank you, my friend, for all your words and for taking the time to share them! You made my day! Jessi

Thanks for the feedback! We're so glad you enjoyed it. I got a kick out of that line, too. I also love the part when Mark's doing donuts and shouts, "This is so cool...this is so scary and so cool!" Jessi

Oh a kid is learning basketball lets put him in the nba that's what you just did by putting that guy in the shelby

I agree 100%

She is so hot

Agreed! Mark was great, supremely easy to get along with, and a very quick learner. He did wonderfully on the day of our shoot and it was a pleasure working with him! Jessi

So glad to hear it-- welcome to the family! We're really happy to have you here! Jessi

Agreed. He was humble, funny, witty, and had a great attitude. Jessi

Jessi- you are just THE Bomb! Don't let anybody tell you otherwise- you are walking in your calling, thriving in your element, and bringing a lot of joy to people who were desperately under served before you came along. Peace and Love!

So glad you enjoyed it! More to come! Jessi

Same here. He had a great attitude and was really fun to work with. Jessi

Wrong, my friend. I studied Spanish for 4 years of college, Portuguese for 2 years during my Masters, and Spanish again for my PhD program. And, yes, this is actually me writing this reply. Jessi

Much appreciated! Thanks for letting us know. Jessi

For a manual do you brake after lifting of the clutch

Wide Open Throttle episodes are now my weekly "look-forward-tos" on KZread. I am very pleased with the content you guys have been putting out; fun, educational, good cinematography, and professional. Jessi also seems like a great lady with an actual passion for vehicles. All you other ladies who watch this (and more specifically, other automotive journalists), please take note of the example Jessi has set.

Thanks! We had a great time! Jessi

Obrigado, meu amigo! Por favor continue a observar! Jessi

Great video! I get jealous every time I watch an episode with Jessi that I wasn't chosen for her position. Such an awesome job!!

ok so question can you launch an automatic transmisson car like a manual transmisson car??

Thank you! I appreciate that! Jessi

I really appreciate that - thanks for letting us know! Jessi

I have a '13 Mustang V6 what rpm should I launch from?

Good idea - I'll keep that in mind for future episodes. Jessi

Much appreciated! Jessi

To create a video response, click the "All Comments" box, located beneath the video's information (the same place you would click to write a comment). A hyperlink on the right of the box called “Create a video response” will appear-- click this. Then you can select “Choose a Video” (to post any video you've already posted on your KZread channel), or you can choose to “Upload a Video Response.” Looking forward to seeing your videos! Jessi

what the song at the end ?

Just wondering, hopefully I get an answer, but how much do you guys at motortrend spend on tires every month?

how can I get training from her

It's a 2013 -- nice catch, my friend! I just fixed the description and now all is well. Jessi

Isn't downshifting without rev-matching really bad for the syncros and transmission?

I don't think you know what syncros is my friend.

So glad to hear it! This is the new style of WOT - experiential, aspirational, nothing but crazy good fun. Hope you enjoy the format! Jessi

This made me laugh! Thanks for sharing that with us. Jessi

I love you back! Jessi

Awesome video and great coaching!

Where can I get this lesson?????

Thank you for this. This is just so special.

Thank you for all your help man. I was driving my friend's manual car for the second time yesterday and only stalled once, when I left his house. I figured out where the catch point of the clutch was, and I applied everything I asked when I was driving. it's not really that hard. Again, thank you very much. You made the learning process much quicker.

Thanks, my friend! Jessi

Props Jess. Glad that they are getting you to do segments like this. Hopefully the days of reading bad dialogue of cue cards is long gone.

No, I'm from the US. I was just giving my Portuguese skills a shot. Jessi

wheres this program on tv

Very entertaining! Great student + great instructor = great success... and fun too!

Do it! Share the knowledge! Jessi

Jessi, you have my respect You are a good teacher

Where do I sign up for lessons with her?

I like her, she does better burnouts than most guys

I feel confident in being able to go out and do that now based on the superb teaching in this video. If only I had a GT500 to play with! Great job Jessi, I love Wide Open Throttle!

I wish I could give you an estimate, but it changes from week to week, depending on what events we're holding and what stunts we're attempting. Jessi

Love this show! And you're an awesome stick shift teacher

Good video, great lesson and i think he learned it!

The girl who knows her cars, drives a stick and looks THIS GREAT is an absolute 1000/10 in my book!

Keep up the great work!

Hear, hear! Jessi

Thank you very much sir! My friend was driving me in his manual car and showing me how they work. He kept shifting into neutral without using the clutch. I'll definitely tell him. And since you've been so helpful, I hope you wouldn't mind if I asked you some more questions!

Jesse......i love you ! you just made the gt500 more appealing and im booking one tommorow because of you !

agree,, my g35 manual gear box was little hard to get use to,,

life cannot get better than this

Sorry Snipe, I completely agree with dunhillsupra. Driving a manual transmission is one of the funnest things out there. I am very happy that Ford and GM have stayed true to their roots and kept it going.

I may be a camaro guy but when those shelbys roar they make me extremely happy!

Great episode by the way

love this show!

Jessi you are great! and this was awesome!

I wish I had someone as patient as Jessi was around when I was learning stick, nice episode ;-)

Motortrend seems to have a lot of fun with the new GT500, awesome car and awesome channel.

"You've met your match, Shelby! No...that's not true, please don't kill me!" Bahaha, I got a kick out of that. Very entertaining video; perfectly captures teaching someone stick. KCCO, dude, and good work!

I would gladly play the fool to spend a day having Jessi teach me anything about cars.

looks like so much fun

Great segment! that is so me because I too to do not know how to drive manual and love muscle cars..

Now that's a great way to learn.

Uuuuuuuuhhh... best thing I've ever seen on KZread.

Great job Jessi on teaching this kid on how to drive stick!

What a good teacher.

Good instructions

My daily driver is a manual transmission. Jessi

Thank you very much for your help! I've subscribed to your channel!

A girl that drive's stick + a GT500 = Wify

Keep up the good work! Now i know how to do a donut and drive stick XD

4:21 "I do love that feel. There's nothing like being one with the car." I agree 100%. If only automakers realized this... Thumbs up if you love driving stick shift!

That reminds me of my first clutch car. I bought it brand new from the dealership. I had to get a budy of mine to drive the car home for me. I learned how to drive it on the weekend so that I could get to work on monday. I think I made the monday morning traffic reports on TV..smile. One thing though...don't drive near a "hill" until you have that clutch down pat..smile.

this was great!

you are awesome Jessi

no recaro seats? :(

She's a better teacher than my Dad who only screamed at me in slight terror and anger until I learned stick lol!

What a lucky guy, I've been dying to drive a fun manual car and this guy learns in a GT500!
