    Use your buddy's car as the demo. Better yet, find a cheap rental and trash that. If you use your own car you will need serious beer / maintenance afterwards.

        I taught mine on my car. Just go out to spingbank or somewhere else with NO traffic. I don't think you can rent a manual (for exactly this reason). And really, she's not drag racing - it's not that hard on the car.

          i taught my nephew,on the hill by the Italian club.if they can take off on the hill with out rolling backwards or using the emergency brake you are good to go.most people panic on hills.just imagine rolling back into a luxury car.

            I took my ex to the heritage park parking lot before it was ripped up. It had a good variety there of stuff for a beginner.
