so today i decided to let gf try driving stick again after like 2 months. She's still very new at it.
So i drove to a school parking lot and told her to be SUPER careful because the last thing i want is a curb rash on my rims.
Now the reved my car to like 4000 rpm before getting off and stalled pretty hard twice. But luckily she only stalled twice. (that hurt me). Then after the 2nd time stalling, i pulled the ebrake and told her to calm down and relax.
NOW, she started off (forgot to pull ebrake after it's pulled all the way) and drove and squeeled my tires. I didn't pay too much attention to it because she revved high and kinda popped the clutch a little. So we ended up stopping and going 2 time around the school with my ebrake on and i swear my engine sounded like it was trying hard but i thought it was from the high revs. When i noticed my ebrake was still up i was like.......... "ok, lets go home now". Got back in the driver seat, my ebrake handle (is aftermarket CF mazdaspeed one) and that was loosened.
What i want to know is did i do any damage to my car? Like my engine probably worked hard but then again it's kinda like hauling something heavy. But about the rear wheels locking up and driving, did the car drag the locked up rear wheels while the front ones were pulling it?
