how hard is it to learn to drive a 5-speed standard transmission?
john_2k69 asked:
Okay I’ve been driving for almost a year now, and to be honest.. I suppose I’m getting “bored” of driving an automatic, since I just needed to be comfortable behind the wheel when I first got my license and now that is all accomplished, I want to fully learn how to drive a standard transmission. I’ve kinda tried it a couple of times in my friend’s car, and the ones that really get me is when I need to park and yielding + left turns in traffic. any tips from you pros?

Should I rent a car when I go to Ireland?
jonny q man asked:
Going to Ireland for the first time in late August - early September for 10 days and 10 nights. I’ve heard driving is the way to go. Problem is, however, I don’t know how to drive a stick and sticks are $600+ cheaper to rent than autos. However, I’ve got nothing to do throughout the month of August, so I could learn how to drive a stick during that time. Thus, this is basically a two-part question:
1) Is it reasonable to expect to spend only a couple weeks or so learning to drive a stick sufficiently to NOT make a total ass out of myself in Ireland, or cause a serious accident?
2) If getting a stick would be stupid, should I pay the $800 it would cost for the duration of the trip to get an automatic rental car rather than doing the bus/train thing?
Seems like there are some great parts of Ireland where a car is absolutely preferable… I keep waffling on what to do, and could use some advice.
Find good domain registration is not so difficult

Im just learning to drive and when i drive sometimes i feel light headed and dizzy? please help?
Lyn-z asked:
So im 15 and im just learning to drive. I usually feel comfortable with my mom but thats probably because i havent been on any MAJOR roads yet but thats because i have to learn on a standard. I have done a total of probably about 8 hours with my mom. Ok so today i went in to my driving school to just go around with them and i went on more major roads then im used to with more traffic. But idk why but i was SOOOOOOO nervous!!!!!!! And everytime a car would turn in front of me i would get a rush of light headedness and other times when i would approach a green light and it turned yellow and i had to stop i would feel queesy. I wasnt like anywhere near hitting anyone but my heart was pounding the whole time and i was really light headed a lot. Is there like something wrong with me? Cuz most people dont say that they experience this.

What’s a good manual transmission car?
learning-newbie asked:
What’s a good car for someone learning to drive manual, that’s under 20k? Used is fine.
I’ve been looking at the Mustang and the Civic Si.
More details:
I’m single, a car that’s fun to drive (hopefully still somewhat safe though) is the priority. In addition to good gas usage and endurance of course.
