learn how to drive stick-shift

Ok, I admit it…I am not the best driver in the world. However, I would love to learn how to drive stick. I have done it in video games, and understand the concept. All I need now is someone who would be willing to teach me on their car!

Ok… so i started to learn to drive a stick shift at 16 years old, but not knowing even the basics of driving it was too much for me at once and I gave up. I ended up learning on automatics with no problems. Never did i attempt a manual again. My car just literally died and my boyfriend bought a 5 speed for me to drive… insisting I can learn. I tried last night and stalled so many times I am ready to give up again and trade it in for one that doesn’t require me to re-learn how to drive lol Its do or die.. annd I’m in limbo

Hopefully I’ll start learning once I get my G2 and my dad doesn’t tell me it’s stupid just because “you are jealous of …..”

This seems more fun

I am 15 and plan to take a learners course in the winter (when I turn 16, and also to help learn driving in winter conditions via the course. I live in canada[NS]).
Currently I’m away from home, but when I get back I am pretty sure one of my uncles has a manual tranny who can teach me pre-course.

If anyone doesn’t have a manual car, my first car is definitely going to be a manual, either way. I am determined to learn it (not for showing off purposes, just because from games to other people, manuals sounds very fun in real).

I am pretty excited to learn manual. :3

My brother finally taught me how to drive stick-shift. I was really good at it. The first day I didn’t stall it at all. the second day, about 3 times. I love it so much. I want a manual car now.

My brother gave us his old car, but it’s stick shift, guess I’ll have to learn to drive it!

I’ve been doing it for awhile now. Automatics feel awkward- like the car is trying to drive me.

I’m better than my mother, and many other stick drivers, now. Like riding a bike, you get it down, and it’s second nature.

I need to learn to drive a stick so I can drive my boyfriend’s car in an emergency situation, or if I’m the only sober person left.

He says he’ll teach me, so we just have to get around to it.

I saw a car in a parking lot for sale and fell in love with it. Found out it was a stick shift but bought it anyway. It took lots of practice just trying to get it to move. I would go out in the middle of the night to drive around and practice when there was no one else on the roads.
