How can I (re)learn driving stick?, It's been ~10 years since I last tried... Options

[CAMAricer]

Okay, so with all the crap that's been going on with my car, I've decided to purchase a second car (as a backup). But my options are rather limited b/c I can only drive an auto (I learned 10 years ago all in one afternoon at an empty parking lot but never touched it since). So...what is the best way to re-learn it? Keep in mind I have no one to teach me (don't know anyone in San Francisco who knows how to).

So any advice for me? Or any NorCal 6GC-ers willing to spare me an afternoon (or two) and their car to teach me? I'll compensate you for your time.

BTW, my next purchase is going to be an AE86. I figure if I'm going to learn how to drive stick, might as well learn how to drift too

lol....take your time with it....go to an empty parking lot and just remember what you were told 10 yerars ago...it will take a while to get use to it but it shouldnt be that hard to pick back up
