My friend taught me in 30 seconds. I knew when to clutch, where to shift from video games before the first time I drove, so that helped a bit.

He held the brake, let the clutch out until revs dropped, said thats your friction point and I have loved driving stick since.

Ask a friend to teach you.

games mostly but first time actually learning was in some snowed in parking lot in my dad's old 4runner, man the clutch in that thing was stiff!

I bought a Supra that was parked pointing up a hill. Kind of a learn or crash and burn deal.

Earliest I remember was when I was 13/14. I sat in my Sister's then Boyfriends del Sol when we went to ImportFest, and got the concept by watching and listening.

At 16, I went around to Dealerships with my mom to go "buy a car" and finally test drove a Celica GTS that was Manual. I stalled SOOOOO much since nobody really explained the friction point thing to me. Did it again at 17 in a new Civic. Stalled once when I parked lol. In the same year, I drove my sister's then Ex (same guy)'s 350Z. Stalled once. That was a hard car to learn from, but by then I knew what to do. None of my friends had a car at this point, and I had an 06 Civic in Auto since I wasn't allowed to drive Manual, and my mom offered to pitch in if I got the Auto.

4 months later I bought my first 240 and drove home from Surrey in snow. From that point I learned how to Heel-toe/rev-match from friends. I also learned how to drift in that car with no prior experience other than watching the Drift Bible. Needless to say, I fell in love with RWD, and all of my future cars will be RWD.

I like Driving Manual, and my next car probably will be Manual, but I still like Automatic depending on the car.

bought my car and learned it in 30 minutes at Riverport. Took 3 days to master though

FerrariEnzo 06-30-2010 04:44 AM

when i bought my first car, my beloved 2002 Civic..

my mom ask me why i want a cars thats standard when i dont know how to drive it.. i told her im going to learn it.. she told me i was n idiot to try and learn it on a new car.. haha

after the first day i got it.. when i got used to it on relatively flat roads, i knew i needed to work rollbacks, so i took my car to BOUNDARY Road... started at the bottom of the BIG ASS HILL and worked my way up.. i would stop and drive up a bit then stop again and drive up again.. this way i would learn how to drive up a hill and not freak out.. of course i did this during night, at around 11pm.. that way i wouldnt make a fool of myself in front of people.. haha..

after that session, MAN was i ever good...

gdoh 06-30-2010 05:16 AM

take you car on a steep hill and practice starting off and the rest is easy once you can start rolling without stalling

i went on 160 and 80 in surrey that hill there not much but hard when starting out

Strzelec 06-30-2010 06:14 AM

Went to a parking lot, then found some steepish hills, and mastered that. Was driving without stalling within a few hours of practice

My friend taught me on our lunch break in his Mazda B2000. We toured around COQ and POMO and he took me up Thermal.

Then I bought a car and fine tuned on that.
