Can anyone help me learn how to drive a manual?

dlee82889 · 01-07-2012, 05:52 PM

I was close to having a forum member help me out, but I don't think he has time. I would like to learn how to drive a manual. Does anyone have an old car and some time to help? It's become fairly urgent (by upcoming Wednesday). I will compensate for your time but I hope it's not huge demands, since I just relocated up here. I live in U-District but can drive to your location.

PM me for details.

Thanks!

Did you order a car you dont know how to drive?

I don't have a car I would be willing to grind the gears for but if you have a car I can teach you pretty quickly, taught a few people over the years

If you get a manual rental car i'll teach you how for free (you'll just be paying for the day's rental). That way you don't mess up anyone's car you don't own...

Bad news is, i don't get back to WA until middle of February...

We've already tried to do that. No dice.

He drove around in my bmw for a while. Did an alright job too for a first timer.

He actually flew to England Thursday and had to drive a manual rent a car.

That's why.

why no dice? because you have to drive the car out of there?

What about we go together, you pay, i drive out (under my name)... ? My car isn't a manual is why this is my suggestion.

No because they wouldn't rent him the car because they said they only rent them out to people who are getting service done.

... so go to a different rental company... O_o?

He can, but no rental company like Enterprise has manual cars. Haury's is the only place I know that has manual rental cars.

interesting... i guess just keep searching around for car rental places or eventually someone with a manual will respond to this with some insight.
