I learned in about 15 minutes for the basics in a friend's car, then went joyriding in mom's car after

Took a few days for me to get really really comfortable in any situation.

No time at all. My Dad was like "Ok, go." So I went.

Took me about a month to master half-clutching though (for uphill starts).
