Easy to learn 1 - 2 hours tops.

I think he is onto something here

Drive it like a rental car on spring break

Actually, it is very easy. First thing you do is look at how a manual tranny works. What the clutch does. Once you understand what you are doing while pressing the clutch pedal, you will the picture this in your mind as you try out a manual tranny car. Also, just go to a used car lot and tell them you want to test drive any old car with the manual in it. These days, dealers will hand over the keys to any car you want.

LOL. Totally kill the clutch and leave. I understand the workings and how to do it I just need to actually do it. Im still a fairly new driver, been about two years of driving, and I've had my license for about under a year. thats why now is a good time to learn in my opinion.

Thats why you get a rental with full insurance!! Stick driving sounds more intimidating than it really is.

@ Enigma.. I learned on a 1936 crank start tractor!!! :rotfl:
