I don't know how to drive a stick

Easy Peasy... Enterprise rent-a-car. #@rofl3

Actually. Any of the driving schools will teach you in 20 mins and let you drive for 2 hours for under 200 bucks.

OR just buy the car and learn on it. You won't kill a clutch learning on it, and if you do it's cheap to buy a new one and it only takes one minute and four seconds to remove and replace the motor. The clutch is on the back of it whistleegi

You're too funny with that timing thing. That was the guys in Europe... can my NJ counterparts do it too??? lol

I called the driving schools around here, and they said they don't have manual transmissions. I guess too many people did that and burned out the clutches and they were tired of paying for it. Enterprise, Hertz, and Avis told me the same thing. What place did you get your info from? I would travel for it...

Guess I better get some whiplash collars for me and my passengers! #@rofl3

You should at least take a look. It is a stunning car.

Stick shift can be easily learned. We just got to find a member with: an old car, don't mind a little grinding, patience and a wet grassy field to practice on.

Panzer, I understand the need for patience, an old car, and that gears will grind, but why the wet grassy field?? :confused04:;

PS ... I KNOW that if I look at Frank's car, I'm going to want it. I already want it and have only seen pictures of it.

if you really want to learn to drive a stick, not as hard as you think, go rent a uhaul truck???????
Not the little pick up but the mid size one. Have somebody drive it to a out of the way location and go for it.
best way to leRn how to gring gears, double clutch ect

I'll figure it out. Maybe just go buy the car and teach myself. Like my uncle told my aunt in the 50's when he drove their bug to the middle of nowhere, " You've seen me do it enough, now get us home." She did....

Shawn, I just can't help it........ didnt want to say it but it would have bothered me all night.......... you missed a cable....... whistleegi

Sounds horribly scary, but we can change motors in a beetle in about 2 hours. It's literally 4 bolts, 2 cables and 4 electrical wires.

Well I think I'm going to call Frank to look at the car. Can't test drive it, so I'll have to take everyone's word that its as good as you say it is. Since you're familiar with it, it makes me feel more at ease than possibly buying from someone no one knows.

Not that there are a lot of dishonest people in the world ... *_no** ::fire:: (present company excluded of course!)

6T5 square · August 10, 2011, 02:23:08 PM

I was just at Franks today. He's willing to help you out with whatever you may want to do. All of us know this car and know Frank is on the up and up.

What area are you in? Maybe there is a member willing to teach you how on your own car. If your near me, heck, I'll even show you!
