Is it possible to learn in one weekend?
Yes.
Is it possible to master in one weekend?
Sure , why not. THe only thign that says otherwise is that 99.999% of the population cannot in sucha short time frame.
Let me enlighten you as to why
Driving a manual is not about skill, about talent, about finesse.
It is about memorization and appropriately gauged and timed information recall, the former of which will govern the quality of your execution.
Sure, you may be able to do burnouts, 360s, drifting, and especially far easier manuevers in a parking lot, but when you are slowing down from 80mph to 15mph to merge in a no-yeild area onto a 50mph street, how much fvkign trust in yourself are you going to have that you will quickly and expertlly push in the clutch, downshift to secodn, check your mirrors, turn your head, check for a sweet spot, push in the gas, let out the clutch appropriately and be off soundly?
That is why you need more than a weekend.
Think about it this way.....
I you see a nude cown riding a bicycle wander into the street in front of your vechicle what are you going to do? Look, stare? You'll probably run him over?
Me? Yeah, I'll stare, I'll take a peek, but after I push in the clutch and break uniformly
Driving well is about learning it well and being able to recall not only that information, but acutallizing it in a very dependable and accurate manner.
You might learn to drive well quickly, but without the appropriate mental development in the areas of recall and actualization for that particular, and might I say, involved task, you're SOL.
Just a thought..take it home and chew it
