I learned to drive stick in my friends old Bronco 2. We went out maybe 1-2 times. Then I went and bought my first car, stick. Obviously no where near as easy to drive as that Bronco that was so old and worn out you could pretty much just slip it into gear without even using the clutch. The road out of the dealer was on an incline and had a red light at the end. Needless to say I sat through like 2-3 lights because I kept stalling it, people were pissed. Although a pita at first I did eventually learn.

So I say maybe get your friend to let you go a couple more times then just go for it and get the car (assuming you want to get a stick car, otherwise not sure). Also every car is different so even if you already know how to drive stick, every car will be a slightly different experience and will take a bit of time to master that specific car.
