Okay I did this recently too (like 4 months ago) and I ended up learning it pretty quickly.
The best thing you can do is make a night of it once you learn how to launch it of course. Just fill up the tank and take it to the streets. Nobody will be around so nobody will care if you mess up. Country roads are the best, and make sure you do some hill stops. Just spend like an hours at it, take a break, and than another hour. After that, sleep. Then wake up and think about what you did wrong and how you can improve your driving. After you've done this you'll probably be itching to go out and do it again. I did something like that for a while, however I owned the car before I could actually drive it. Since you'll probably be taking a friend's car you might not be able to get a routine like that going so you might want to work on the basics and save the routine for when you get the car you're going to buy. -------------------- (\__/) (='.'=) This is bunny.
