Okay, so with all the crap that's been going on with my car, I've decided to purchase a second car (as a backup). But my options are rather limited b/c I can only drive an auto (I learned 10 years ago all in one afternoon at an empty parking lot but never touched it since). So...what is the best way to re-learn it? Keep in mind I have no one to teach me (don't know anyone in San Francisco who knows how to).
So any advice for me? Or any NorCal 6GC-ers willing to spare me an afternoon (or two) and their car to teach me? I'll compensate you for your time. BTW, my next purchase is going to be an AE86. I figure if I'm going to learn how to drive stick, might as well learn how to drift too  --------------------   2002 SC430 (WC) - 19" SSR Comp-H, Daizen swaybars, Sparco Demons, JDM Soarer conversion, carbon fiber spoiler, Injen intake, front strut bar, drilled/slotted Brembo rotors 1997 Celica ST (DD) - 17" ADR, ViS Zyclone CF hood, ViS CF hatch, K&N intake, Invader body kit |

CAMAricer, You shouldn't be asking this. I know its been 10 years, but driving a stick is like riding a bike, You'll never forget. Just hop on it and go. It will be second hand nature to you, TRUST.
