I found what seems to be a nice gsr, haven't actually seen it yet. But anyways it has about 46k, 2dr hatchback and its a manual. And they are asking $8,600/best offer. Minor problem is I don't know how to drive a stick. Except for a lesson a friend gave me a few summers ago. I was thinking about getting a winter beater first to learn manual but I dont think I will have time before the car gets sold. What would you do or what could I do?

 

Get a car w/ stick - you'll be so much more happy that you did and it will not take you long at all to get the hang of it. Take it from an auto driver who wishes he was driving a car w/ stick

 

learn on the gsr

 

If you buy a beater to learn stick, you're going to end up wasting money on that because you'll be wanting the GS-R right after. I was in the same boat as you and I didn't know how to drive stick. But I just learned on the GS-R and was glad I didn't buy a beater to start with.

 

Alright I think I may end up doing that but how do you go about test driving? I was thinking about bringing a friend that could drive manual to test it.

 

:yes:

 

You will need someone who has experience with driving a manual transmission because they will test drive and drive it home for you. When you start practicing, be careful and remember to relax. Have fun!

 

nice, i would go for a 98 tho. if you got the cash.

 

Yeah i bought my GSR and learned stick on it...at first it was frustrating but after like a week I was already racing haha. Dont go for a shitmobile in the beginning, you learn stick too fast and you will wanna dump it.

 

Where you located? I'll test drive it for you, I'll see just how much more powerful a GS-R is compared to my LS...I know a GS-R would spank my car...but I'd like to see how much power difference there is. But yeah, learn on the GS-R...I learned on my LS like 2 months ago...best decision I ever made. You can't break a Honda's tranny...it'll take a beating, trust me, lol.

P.S. - MY 100th POST!!! WOOO
