Seeking help learning Manual in MA/RI area
 

Hey guys and gals,

I recently got a sweet lil direct line into a nice lil job that I'd love BUT I need to know how to drive a Manual first. Anyone local wanna help good ol' Clavius out? My mother has a Manual but I think I'd kill myself if she taught me lol, and beyond her I dont know anyone who has a Manual other than some of you guys :)

come to jersey kevin and ill teach you

If no one replies I just might. This job is akin to a dream job.. haha.. plus pays ALOT.

so why you need to learn stick?

valet driver.

Give the man a prize!
And it would be at a high end hotel to boot!

just learn on a ferrari or something.....

It's easy................like I told my kids..............if you touch the shifter, have the clutch in. :) That's the basics........as simple as it gets...........after that, it's just practice and should only take you a few minutes to get the hang of it. You know anybody with a motorcycle? That's how I learned many, many moons ago.

Arnt they switching to only having Auto's now :rofl: Now that I think of it a majority of the "high end" cars are starting to only offer auto's hmm.. interesting

But from what I am told I could be making a boat load of cash if I get this job. One downside is the commute but meh thinking public transit.

Oh and I sadly dont know anyone atm with a bike :(

bingo. auto is the future.

dude why didnt u just call me hahahah i just saw this post...use my eight hahah, we just need to look for a parking lot...ill show u how to drive...do what ur diy parody says call the smallest fuquer u can find hahah..that happens to be me

^ Sweet we found a dupe.. erm I mean dude to help me out!!
Thanks Sokim!! I was thinking of calling ya but I know your busy and didnt wanna be asking another favor of ya ;)

There is a parkinglot area near me in Attelboro that is empty most of the time (its HUGE but is never "full!"). If you know of one that is closer to you I'm game for meeting up with ya.

Upcoming DIY
 

haha.. have to create another post just for this one..
I think we'll have to do another DIY Parody for this one lmfao.. "How to teach a Autotragic owner how to Drive stick." :banghead:

they are not automatics in the traditional sense. they are automated manuals, they have flywheels and clutches. the ferrari automated manual can shift in .002 seconds or something crazy like that.

i have a friend who has a job as a valet driver. he has driven bentleys, ferraris, mazerattis, aston martins, etc. he makes quite a bit of money.

lol bad idea.. youre gonna wanna sell ur 8 for a manual......... its addicting

well as it stands I'm ontop of my loan car is valued at/around 12.5k for trade in and I only owe about 8k. haha.. just need to find one of those dealer "We'll pay off your loan" deals if it is as good as they say lol. I'd just have to find some stock bumber's and get the side skirts off.

hey kevin been busy with wedding and stuff all weekend and stuff havn't had a chance to get back to u...but lemme know when u wanna learn we can set up a day to practice... (doing donuts)hahahaah....

the dealership will teach you! they do anything for a sale.

No problem helping you out. Give me a call and we can figure out when. Do you have a standard we can use so my weak ass Aisin doesn't have to suffer your n00bishness??

We can steal Sokim's! (genjuro's)? :lol:
I usualy have Sunday and Mondays off. And on Saturday I get out of work at 4. Those are the best times for me atleast. Sooner the better honestly, dont wish this oportunity pass me by hehe.

Sunday is no good. Mom's gone back to work & has a Sunday shift. Don't need you beating up my clutch and making the baby sick bouncing him around.


Maybe we can figure out somewhere to meet when I get out of work Monday. I'm sure as shit not making my way into Pawtucket during rush hour, but maybe something at the Providence line so I can use some cut through back roads and avoid the highway interchanges.


Can you just get the car from your mom and throw yourself into the fire?

Possibly.. lol.. I'll be contacting Sokim soon so we can hang out and give this a shot haha. But hey after monday I might not have the car for awhile (see poll thread by me haha).
