Y'know... when I was driving cars, my CA mentionned that back in his pre-BMW daze, he had some very inexperienced manual drivers out for test drives.
L- I have an old* beater you can learn on in my garage, only a 5.5 hour jaunt up 95

*78 years old. If you can drive this, you can drive anything.

TJunkers - glad that someone like you wants to learn how to drive a manual. It's fun, especially when your up a little hill and your next to someone. You just slowly roll back and watch them slam their brakes...too funny. And driving around a the back country where the roads are not straight...awesome time.

M & L - Norma Jean is a manual. As long as you don't burn my clutch, I'll let you drive her.

LOL - I learned stick on my very first car in high school. An old $900 1982 Toyota Supra aka "The Batmobile" - because of the flip up lights.. looked like the delorian too.

I knew how to drive, but not stick - bought the car from a friend of family. After 2 days of waiting for my friend to show up, I just hopped in my car and went around the neighbourhood all day. I knew the concept, jus needed practice. Had it within a few hrs. The hardest part is getting out of first or if u end up stopped on a hill. Which always seemed to happen LOL. Recently had a 97 Saab before the X that was stick - manual is hell here in NYC.

My uncle can drive stick without the clutch.. had to when clutch went on me downtown in a parking garage. He drove it all the way back to queens.

I just got a flash of Michelle and me riding around the parking lot on those mobility scooters with the old geezers trying to catch us

Back on topic, I seriously want to learn too. My dad said he'd teach me on the old ford pick up. I'm not sure that's a good thing. I'm going to call a driving school.

sorry to OP for the thread hijack....

Dear uncle MD,
If I show up at the mtn for stick shift lesson, would you still take me around the parking lot? I know I'm no Michelle or Laura, not even close, but would you still take me anyway? Maybe with the good looks between the two of us we can impress the ol' geezers' lady companions . Just a thought.
Sincerely,
Phong

If you show up at mDs I'll fookin carry you around the parking lot.

It is perfectly acceptable for us to hijack this thread as the OP already got his question answered.
