First learned to drive manual at a Cadillac dealership working as a porter for a summer job between 11th and 12th grade. I had to learn to be able to move trade-ins and to bring up used cars. Owner of the dealership said he'd teach me and he made damn sure I was good at it before he let me drive anything on his lot.

How the fuck do you make this conclusion? It's a rattling heap of unreliable shit, but you like the fact that it's simple? IT'S A PIECE OF SHIT BECAUSE IT'S TOO SIMPLE.

Chrysler cut more corners than they should have on the Jeeps, and it really ruined them for entire generations. They're such shit compared to the AMC/Willies Jeeps, it makes me want to shit my pants with rage.

Tried in a Honda CRX. But dudes teaching me made it sound like I was just supposed to dump the clutch so I didn't do much besides stalling it twice and giving up.

Then I really learned when my friend got pulled over with his RSX-S while hooning in a parking lot. His license was suspended and cops said he wasn't allowed to drive home so I took over and got us away from the police.

Then I perfected it when another friend got arrested and I had to hold down his E36 for 2 months while he was in jail. It was much easier dealing with little mistakes when the owner of the car isn't in the passenger seat all worried.

I'll pick the OMG Willies were SO GOOD then. Because it's true, they were very reliable AND easy to fix. Unlike modern Jeeps, which are UNRELIABLE and, now, ironically, NOT simple to fix. 2005+ Wranglers are computerized cuckmobiles. I guess the only redeeming quality of owning an older Chrysler-era Jeep is that parts are cheap and plentiful.

I had a fever, but my coach threatened to pull me off the team if I missed practice. Went, and my coach deliberately pushed me abnormally hard because I was complaining about my symptoms.

After about 3 hours of practice with no fluids, I ended up passing out, and seizing. Woke up to paramedics shoving a wooden dowel down my throat to make sure I didn't choke on my own tongue.

I have since quit the team, and we're first going through the school board, if they don't resolve the issue, we've prepared a lawyer.

Parts are cheap. the engine bay is massive for the size of the engine. I've only had to replace 3 parts, all of them original, which means they lasted over twenty years.

This thing. It had gone through 270k miles, 3 owners, and always had something wrong with it. It's a miracle that I was able to sell it to a mechanic. For the same price I bought it for, no less.

BFGs are massively overrated and the pinnacle of cuck status. They show that you care more about bragging that you have BFGs than actually driving. Don't get me wrong: they're GOOD, but they're not THAT GOOD and they are run by way more faggot posers than actual "enthusiasts."

Well, it's the car I got my driving license in, and still the worse POS I've ever driven, holy camoly... I could never find a comfortable driving position. I also remember those Xbox huge A pillars that would hinder my view at every intersections, gutless engine and a clutch pedal that felt more like a brake pedal with variable bite point. Still have nightmare about it

The first car I bought. a 2001 Honda Civic EX Coupe.

My friend test drove it for me, and when I picked it up, he drove it to a move theater parking lot where I spent about 2 hours learning clutch engagement, after which I drove it home 40 minutes on the highway, and had to parallel park it 2 blocks away so my parents wouldnt yell at me for buying a car without them.
Took me about 2 months to get really good at driving manual.
And that was 15 years ago.

Really? Damn, I've heard the 944 is pretty bad to learn in. I bought one a few weeks ago, learned stick before I bought it because I didn't want to learn on it and fuck up the clutch, which is a bitch to replace. I actually drove out to meet a guy I met in /pog/ and he taught me in his NB Miata before I bought it. Really cool guy, probably the most good this site will ever do for me.

Was my driving instructor's car.

I also learnt in my own car which I still have, a thoroughly rough looking purple 2001 Ford Fiesta I bought for £800. Looks like ass, has been many people's first cars and not looked after, was in two accidents I didn't know about until after I bought it, but she is called Rita and I love her.

Everyone at my old job used to rag on me for driving a shitbox, but Rita keeps going with minimal maintenance whilst someone's Jaguar refused to start for the drive home, a Range Rover shit the bed half way up the entrance road, a few-years old Peugot spewed oil over the recently laid expensive block paving parking area and the pride and joy BMW bought by a smug bitch repeatedly broke down either in the morning to work or when it was time to leave.

The Fiesta was all I could afford, I didn't over extend myself on finance like my friends, didn't go for a BMW as a status symbol and pay over the odds for an unreliable krautbox (ha ha fuck you bitch) and on a budget I have maintained it enough to keep it going with barely any faults.

Then I got a job driving a cement truck, an International 2554 or someshit. It was a double-clutch and it was underpowered as fuck.

That's pretty much all I know about learning to drive a manual.
