[ Sure, easy peasy. Just sit there and watch how a pro does it, Dean. That's the plan, anyway. Sam's expression shifted to something much more intent, and he turned the key, setting the car to a low, intent rumbling. Their father always kept the car carefully tuned, and she didn't so much as splutter or bang.
He put his foot on the clutch, pushed the car from park up into first gear - not straight into second the way their father always did - then put his foot down on the gas pedal, without lifting off the clutch. The engine revved, Sam realised his mistake and lifted his foot off the clutch too hard and too fast, and the car jumped forward a meters in a grand lurch before the engine stalled.
Sam, furiously embarrassed, flushed and glared at the dash and ignored his brother who he was sure was laughing at him. ]
Shut up. [ He growled, forgetting all about putting the car back into park and turning the key again. ]
