Boy, did I have weeks like that. It really all is in persistence. Keep at it. Oh, and at least you're buying a car after you know how to drive. I bought the car, then learned to drive. That car just sat there in the driveway for a good week before I had the courage to drive it with no help.

That's the spirit! Win or go down trying! (Trust me, it works. In a few weeks, you'll start wondering how you ever drove before. )

That's what I did and it worked out fine. It helped that I had a friend who had some spare time one Friday after I got it to help accelerate my learning. Now I'm even rev-matching downshifts!roxygurljax wrote:i'm actually thinking of just buying the damn thing whether i know how to or not

Go for it! My wife had no idea how to drive a stick when we bought our car about 5-6 months ago (and I wasn't much better). We haven't regretted it at all.roxygurljax wrote:Nychold wrote:Boy, did I have weeks like that. It really all is in persistence. Keep at it.

Orlando Yahoo results
Plenty of them down in Orlando. Nothing around here:
Ocala Yahoo Results
Of course, Yahoo! isn't the end-all-be-all of buying a car, but does a good job representing what's available.
Edit: Hold the phone... 5 speed Type-S??
I thought they only came with a 6 speed?
