PUMP UP THE JAM!

I love porsche's. Been my dream car since i was a kid and i got to take a brand new 911 twin turbo for a spin last summer with a friend. After tearing up the streets in that for an hr. i was depressed getting into my 140 hp car to drive home.

IMHO it's a lot more fun (and cool) to drive a car with a standard transmission, not to mention you have much more control over the vehicle. Once you learn, you will never want to go back! Every time I drive an automatic my clutch foot tends to get all antsy. LOL.

I really think more women should learn to drive standard. My step-mom does, and im currently teaching my sister... It also really pays off if you want to drive in Europe as most cars are standard over there.

Also, being able to drive stick makes a woman a bajillion times hotter.

Manual transmissions, you clowns. But uh

LOL, I agree. Be it driving stick both on AND off the road.

Congrats to your friend. He sure is lucky.

A Porsche never comes fully loaded. Each and every option on a Pcar is extra. Floormats are an exrtra charge too!! Carbon brakes alone are ~$11k.

Your friend would need to know exaclty what options the Cayman has. This information is essential for a potential Pcar buyer (as in most cases they already know what options they need / do not need). As a reference, a fully loaded Cayman S is upwards of $140k

I would suggest to go to a Pcar dealer here (only two in the GTA) and see what they are offering for that particular Cayman (sometimes this is the best bet as you get a cheque the same day and is hassle free). That should be the first step. He can take that price as a reference and see how the market currently is. If you would want me to get him in contact with someone, let me know.

Also, if the car is worth ~$110k, he should be looking for less than $100k for a quick sale. Very low mileage Caymans are going for ~$85k at the moment.

Another option is trade in the car, and buy a car which he can afford (operating cost wise)from the same dealership. He would save huge on sales tax and would take money back home (trade-in value minus value of car pruchased).

hahah this is the one and only time you're allowed to "listen to Fuad".

Fuad...FTW

Totally agree! Out of all my gf's I know one that knows how to drive stick.

What's the best way to learn and honestly how long would it take?

I have a steptronic (chicktronic sounds better) and sometimes use it...I'm lazy so if I want quicker revs I go into sports mode...

Most of my friends that have standard wouldn't let me near their cars (plus they are luxury cars so i don't blame em...)..so if I ever did want to buy a standard car should I just rent a standard car and drive the crap out of it ?

wow, thats completely not fair. A friend of a friend won a big house and car in one of the hospital lotteries. crazy

Under 10 hours is more than enough. But you'll most likely won't be able to survive for longer than about 2 hours at a time because at first your clutch foot will be sore as hell. Practice the 1st and second gear the most - those are the hardest ones. Once you can shift smoothly from neutral to 1st and 1st to 2nd, the other gears will be a piece of cake. Honestly, it wasn't that hard for me at all.

It goes without saying that practicing with someone who actually drives stick will help prevent many fuckups on your part.

neutral to 1st is the hardest, after 5 hours of practice, i still couldn't get it proprely... ugh.

Uphill neutral to 1st.

Yeh! When I was learning to drive stick my mom takes me to this 30 degree grade, stops pointed uphill and she tells me that this will be the hardest thing to learn. After slipping backwards the first 2-3 times I got the hang of it, but it was scary!

alright. I say we all start participating in these lottery events, one of us wins a car and/or a house, and we make it a "TA vehicle" or the "TA party house", yes?

That's when you learn to balance your car in 1st gear, I love doing that shit where I roll up and down the hill, gives the guy behind a "oh shit is he gonna hit me" look.

If you were really balancing it on the clutch, you wouldn't be rolling down; the clutch would catch and you'd stay in one place.

He's doing a teeter-totter kinda thing. I know what you mean, and the first thing that it reminded me of was Subaru's HillHolder clutch system.

Tell me if i'm wrong, but doesn't this wear out your clutch faster?

if you're just learning...i found that using your emergency brake to hold yourself there works the best...this way you can work the clutch and gas without worrying about rolling back
