$50/hour?

Sign me the frick up. It's not hard at all.

Took me maybe 2 days to learn it when I was 17.

It is amazing how many people cannot drive a manual.


I don't think it's that amazing at all. Just percentages.

My first two cars were sticks. I miss it sometimes. I definitely don't miss it when I'm sitting in traffic.

Only problem is that, according to the ad, you have to currently own/lease a car with a stick shift and use it to teach.. while i love driving cars with a manual transmission and have owned several in the past, i’m currently down to only two cars (mine and my wife’s) and both are automatic.. otherwise would be a fun way to make side cash.

If it took you two days at an hour a day. You'd make $100...not that great when you really think about it.

My dad drove around once in a parking low showing me how to shift. After that he got out and basically said good luck, go learn it.

frick I'd definitely do this but no way in hell I'm teaching people in my own car. Clutch jobs are way too expensive for that

I miss my little piece of shite 5 speed, 4 cylinder YJ.

If I caught a head wind on the interstate I'd be maxed out around 50mph

On a tailwind though, I'd hit a scorching 60

How can someone who doesn’t know how to drive a stick watch a fast and furious movie?

That is what those movies are about.

My dad threw me the keys to a VW Beetle he had been working on and told me to drive it around the block to make sure it ran.

That's how I learned how to drive a car with a manual transmission.

Get off my lawn....damn soft millennials.

Not amazing at all.

Good luck even finding a car with a manual transmission nowadays.
