hey guys,
I have driven an automatic transmission car all my life. my first car was an Olds Cutlass that my mom let me use in high school. That was a POS...wouldn't start up half the time :lol: but it was an automatic.
the car I drive now (which my parents gave me too because I am in school and make no $$$) is their camry. Pretty nice...2000 camry LE auto 4cyl.
I am planning on buying my own car in about a year or so, and I really hate having to "narrow" down my options to
just auto trans. cars. for example:
1. Thought of an Acura RSX-S, but it's only in 6-spd manual. Sure, I can get the base RSX, but it's less powerful, and if I include leather seats (standard on type-s) the base is only like $1000 LESS than type-s model.
2. Honda S2000 (used) can go for as low as $20,000 but it's only manual too
3. Most sports cars/coupes are more fun in manual I assume, and auto usually costs more anyways.
None of my friends have a manual which i can practice with or family members.
What should I do so I can learn how to drive a stick? I have the general idea down (test drove a stick before, but still get nervous driving one, ie going in reverse in stick, or not stalling at a stop sign/red light). Is there a driving class I can take just to learn how to drive stick, places where i can rent a stick for a few days, etc?
i'm all out of ideas. really want to learn how to drive stick so I don't always have to see if the "new" car I want have an auto/manumatic option
thanks guys for any advice
