rent a stick shift car to learn on
and beat the living shiiiit out of it

stick is easy to learn don't sell yourself short

 

That's the hard part, rental car companies do not carry MT cars. I tried posting on craigslist without any success, I contacted the Driver's Ed schools and none of them have a manual to teach. I might have one person at work who might be able to help me, but i won't know till thursday.

If that doesn't work out, I'll be posting ads on bulletin boards

 

Learn to drive a manual on the Z. Not hard. Wait for an m/t.

 

Where in Iowa?

 

I tried to rent a manual 350Z in Tucson, AZ. Could not find one.

BTW many adults have not driven a manual transmission. 90 percent of military veterans do. Everyone in the Army gets a rifle and a 2 1/2 ton truck.

It will take you about 100 miles to learn to drive a manual. You will make plenty of mistakes but so what. Of course I am an old fart. Born in 1949, and I have never bought a vehicle with a automatic transmission.

 

I learned how to drive manual during my test drive of my new WRX. I made plenty of mistakes for the first day and had an experienced friend give me points the 2nd day. I feel like by the third day I could drive it without making errors and with an occasional stall. hardly a burden to pick up a car that is much more enjoyable to drive.

I traded in a 400hp automatic camaro ss for a 265hp manual wrx. the driving experience is that much better with a manual. bite the bullet and go force yourself to learn, you will be glad you did!
