Teach me how to drive a manual???

I live in the Union City Area, and it has been some time now that I actually stopped procrastinating and learned how to drive a stick shift.

I'm soon going to be able to buy a new car and I want that car to be a Manual / Stick Shift Transmission, but the problem is that I have never driven one in my entire life and would love it if someone can teach me ...

I'm willing to pay 20 or 30 bucks an hour if you can provide the car and your time to teach me how to drive stick shift. There are a couple of empty parking lots near my area and I have lots of time next week free (off school).

So anyone up for the challenge??....

Thanks in advance.

Very easy to learn, but takes practice....its something you gotta feel to learn it, so no amount of instruction can help without doing it. Good luck! I'm sure someone will step up, especially for a few bucks

Thanks RotaryKillz

I know I just want to get a feel for it. I know from hearing everyone talk about driving stick that it is super fun and you have much more control over the car when you know what is going on.

I've been reading books and have shifted gears before in a standing car to get a feel for the right shifts, etc.

Thanks
