Default Driving Instructor Needed

My BIG problem: i don't know how to drive a manual.

i am expecting delivery of my S2000 car in two weeks and need to learn how to drive a manual. Where can i begin?? no one i know drive a manual or have a car that have a manual transmission and none of the driver education schools in my area teaches manual driving. what should i do next?? Are there S2000 enthusiast out there that is willing to teach me?? I live in Herndon, VA.

Thanks all.

If you lived closer to the Hampton Roads area, I'd be glad to help. PM me and maybe we can work out something....

See if you can find a rent-a-wreck or any old POS stick to learn on. That will be the best way to hone your skills and then not grind your s2 gears or burn your clutch. I taught my wife on an old jeep wrangler, and after that she did very well in the s2.

Go test drive a stick shift Civic from the Honda dealership where you get your S2k. Ask your salesman to give you a 1 hour lesson, if he says no, buy the car from someone else
