Where to learn how to drive a manual?

[TLEJ]

Like I've been looking for someone that owns one for about a year now... Nobody has one. None of my parents/relatives, friends of them, NOBODY. Haha, I've come up with 2 ideas at this point...

-Go test drive one with no experience..

-Go to the DMV and see if they have one

.. I mean those are the only 2 things I've thought of.. I've watched a lot of videos on it, and I mean it can't be that hard.. But I still want to try it just to say I can.. (I might even switch to one if it's how I think it is..)

But anyways, what should I do?...

Buy one cheap and go to an empty parking lot and learn.

I don't even have 1000 to blow on one.. I wish though haha

I sorta drove one a little and I'm trying to switch to one so i'll have no choice but to learn to drive it

Go to a Driving School I myself began learning to drive when i was like 10yrs old, its nice being able to drive out in the country. I think all parents should start teaching their kids at a younger age so that way when they get behind the wheel they're better off with some experience, compared to not having any at all.

Edit: ever drive a manual 4 wheeler, its exactly like that except using ur foot. also the title really confused me add transmission to the end lol. I thought u were asking for a manual to learn how to drive lol

Find an ATV (four wheeler) that has a manual drive train on it and get a little practice on it first. That way you get used to the whole concept. Then find a little car to get used too.

I'm pretty sure that was how I learned some 13, 14 years ago.

Avoid a dirt bike unless you want to get hurt. LOL

Do you live in a rural area where there are farms?

If so go talk to a farmer I'm sure the have an old pick up truck. If you are whiling to trade out a little bit of labor I'm sure a farmer would help train you.

Haha that's a good one..

and nope, I'm smack in the middle of a city.. Everyone has golf carts instead of ATVs here.. It seems just impossible to find a manual car. When I ask if people have one, they have the attitude as if only a peasant would drive one..
