There are schools you can go to just search around.
Or If your serious buy a old 1000 dollar beater and learn

It's a sad day for mankind when 'no-one you know' has a manual...
That being said, can you get a manual from a car rental agency anywhere near you?
I actually learned the basics of manual transmissions on an atv (quad, four-wheeler, whatever you want to call it). Once you're comfortable with the basic idea of how to manipulate the gas/clutch, applying it to a car is muuuch easier.

If your DD isn't a manual transmission, don't bother. It's all about muscle memory and trying to learn on a friend's car is just going to destroy their clutch and make you think you can actually drive manual.
It's something that you need to do every single day for a while in order to really get the feel for it.

It's not hard.
My dad taught me on a brand new Corvette he decided to test drive.
:lol:
Pretty much took me to an open lot, got out, and said drive.
Taught me how to move the car using only the clutch, something I still use to this day... makes take offs in traffic much easier.
In theory it's easier on the clutch, I'm not sure, nor do I care if it is or not.

You mean hang-point? That is what my dad called it when he taught me how to drive manual in his old Mazda 323.
Hang-point is one those things that is going away eventually since most of the new manual cars coming out have hill-assist :laugh:

Pretty much.
I can walk a car with the clutch and then get all the way off it without throttle.

X2, if you really want that car, just buy it and learn to drive on it. also learn to rev match/heel toe once you get the basics down.
