[QUOTE="nightshiftscottie, post: 676047, member: 25934"] [b]Re: how hard is it to learn to drive a package car if you don't know how to drive a m[/b] It's not hard, once you get the car moving out of first. Like others have said, head to a large parking lot ( I taught three kids to drive on the hub lot before I started working for UPS), and do dead stops over and over in first gear. When you no longer stall, move to second and then stop, starting out all over again. Again, you'll need to practice on a hill somewhere to get used to rollback. When you get the hang of that, head for country roads and drive. Soon you won't even realize you're shifting. Used cars with stick are cheaper that their auto versions, It's easier to drive on snow with a stick, and repair bills are cheaper. Didn't even consider the anti-theft thingie. [/QUOTE]
