I was thinking of renting some garbage car and just go mess around in a parking lot till I get it down. Any suggestions?
Hey man, i'm in the same boat as you, i just bought a 95 teg and its gonna be my first one... good luck, just make sure ur not on the same street as me, cuz hell i might reek havoc the first few days (by this i mean, that i will probably stall it many a times). lol
well anyways, good luck!

I bought a Shitty '93 Mustang 2 years ago for $300 and drove it around the Shawa for a day.
By the end of the day I was driving it better than my buddy who "knew what he was doing" .
I ****ed that car up something feirce in the end. LMAO

i learned to to heel-toe in about 5 minutes too. i had once seen a shrunk down photo of a lesson in an old alain prost driving book on how to do it properly, and had read about rev-matching etc... it always stuck in my mind, so i didnt have to figure out in my head what had to be done, i just had to apply what i already knew.
so basically i already knew how to do everything, it was just mechanics at that point... i had no problems driving the first time i tried it, because in my head i already knew how.

i learned in a maxima se, wow that was fun, then perfected in a nissan hardbody, both when i was 12-13, so i gained alot of exp since then, that and my several attempts at offroading have really tested my skills
