Does this even exist?

Almost anyone I know who can drive manual had their parent teach them when they were first learning to drive.

I personally learned myself in college at a summer job on a small utility vehicle we had to use.

Buddy of mine bought a used truck one time, sight unseen. We drove all the way to the Cape to pick it up. It was a stick. He didnt know how to drive stick (and at the time, I did not either).

He drove all the way back to Dorchester...somehow.

About two weeks later the clutch was fried so he sold it.

I learned in my mid 20s when I decided to buy a Subaru STI, only knowing how it works and never having driven a manual. Had a buddy test drive it with me and just figured it out in the parking lot. Was living in Somerville at the time so the learning curve was fast. Very sink or swim. Almost every car including my new one has been a 6 speed and I'll never go back.
