  • good job. my cousin has been driving since a young age too. he started when he was 6 in a manual and is getting better :)

  • i've have driven my dads car before, a manual Ford focus, and when you get the whole gear change thing in tune, it's quite easy. but still, driving at 35 MPH when 14 years old, is a bit difficult. and the road i drove on would make rallycars' suspention break. HATE POTHOLES.

  • NICE! i want to teach my kids manual when newborn!! i learned stick shift at 11! :s impressive boy

  • wow nice... can´t look over the steering wheel but can drive a manual ;)

    respect

  • THUMBS UP FOR GRANDMA LOOK 0:11

  • hahaha good lad, your luckier than me, ive always wanted to drive an impreza! :) and im 23!

  • I started learning manual when I was at his age to. I don't get why so many parents were posting these videos of they're 14 year olds driving their automatic cars. It's not that impressive, but I actually liked this video. Your kid is cute, only 8 and driving a manual pretty well! He's going to be a good driver when he grows up.

  • I was learning how to drive when I was 9 years old. But now that I'm 16 I find it nervous to drive idk why.

  • а не рано ли учить?

  • He drives better than some 16 year olds XD

  • Wow, he is going to be a good driver in the future with that experience! Top marks, on getting a safe location to practice. In an emergency, this experience can serve for a very practical application, and possibly save the day. As long as parents instruct as calmly as you have, and in such safe and isolated areas as this!!

  • Fake

  • nice teaching pop, wish I knew how to drive stick, but my parents both have automatics in their vehicles :(

  • i liked cus of the second last sentence in video description LOL

    "One felt like a grown up and the other like a kid again."

  • I was a little older than this when I drove for the first time, maybe ten or so. But, the first car I drove wasn't a car really, it was a lifted 1977 Dodge Power Wagon on 38" tires. Very tall and very cool, but also quite easy to drive on dirt, which is where I started (because I was very used to dirt after riding dirtbikes for three years or so, plus the lower speed). I'm not trying to show off or anything, I'm just saying it was a kick-ass experience for a ten-year-old!

  • man my parents don't even let me to drive there crappy cars and im 14

  • I was also 8 year old when I first drive....... a Polski Fiat :)

  • damn i'm 21, been driving automatics since i was 11, but I never learned how to drive a stick smh, maybe i'll have this kid teach me in exhange for help with his homework lmao!!

  • wtf stickshift??? my grandpa wont let me drive stick shift even though i have a driver license on automatic

  • My dad told him he knew how to drive when he was 7 years old, it wasnt automatic either it was stickshift. People use to freak out and say that the car is going on its own.

  • I started at the same age on the first day i never let the car stall... I was so proud at that time! Now it's an automatic mechanism on our brain...

  • That kid is a MAN now, teach em clutch when they're young, Good job kid.

  • lplover108..... Driving is a life skill, not a crime!!!!.... the kid is simply being taught a life skill, what's bad about that??... Its nothing like giving the kid cigarettes or letting him drink... you're nuts if you think this is anything bad!...

  • good job kid. ur smarter than most adults that cant drive stick. u pretty much took a shit on alot of ppl. lol

  • there it goes kid! nice job!

    when i was 8 yo and the most of my friends too

  • i remember begging my dad to let me drive when i was 12. i wish i remember what the car was, it was some turbo audi; no way he would let me go near the pedals, i just sat on his lap and did 5 kph circles. that was just was fun as any go-kart or my (slow-ass) power wheels.

    M 20 years old and m driving a truck with a manual gear.

  • wow nice. he didn't stall the car. ROFL.

  • its a good thing your teaching him young, because a lot of uptight Anerican parents think its dangerous, but when they end up getting a license at 16 they have minimal driving experience and end up getting into accidents! your a good father :)

  • Your seriously An Amazing Parent.

  • Thats soo sick! 8 yr old driving manual!!! propsss

  • Wow you guys are so dumb..Its clear that he's in a place where there are no other cars..and hes doing what a lot of parents don't do at his age..is teach their kids.

    I can't stand parents that hold off teaching because it seems "immoral" just like teaching safe sex.

    I salute you sir you are a good dad. :)

  • its great to see a father teaching his son how to drive a standard

    every man should know how to drive a standard. period.

  • Im from the middle east every 13 year old drives on the street ,, not many kids can drive sticks though ,, good work dad :)

  • it not a manual car

  • I am eleven and I put the petal to the metal

  • its not very dangerous alot of young kids know how to simple drive,its not dangerous where hes at,hes doing circles and simply turning theres nothing to hit.

  • I remember me learning how to drive at 11 years old in a 2001 opel vectra.....:)

  • u coulnt have had an 2001 opel and be 11 lol it would be 2012

  • FLOOR IT!.

  • what are people complaining about. he just let his kid drive a car on an open parking lot. i learned to drive when i was 10. and guess what, i was on a busy road. i didnt turn out bad. im 16 now, never smoked or drank.

  • man, i remember driving my parents 94 Suzuki, or Isuzu, mini SUV when i was 5,

    but i was only turning it, because i couldn't reach the pedals, man those were the days.

  • i wish my dad took me driving. i'm 14 and just recently drove for the first time about 200ft down the driveway, no turns, whatever. and it was my neighbor, not my mom haha.

  • Nice driving

  • He drives very well, he must be well into cars, good clutch control, doesn't cross his hands, doesn't jump for the brakes and can shift gears, isn't scared, had to look at the gear control from time to time but for his first time, not bad at all. So not a bad teacher either.

    Why don't you get him some go kart or buggy so he can practise his skills?

  • He picked that up pretty quickly for an 8 year old, he must be well into cars, had perfect clutch control and gear shifting, too considering cars are designed for adults.

    Why don't you get him some go kart or buggy so he can practise some of his skills?

  • I wish my parents were cool enough to let me drive at 8 years old! That's cool as hell.

  • dat is illegal i hope u go to jail

  • HE SuCKS!!

  • it reminded me when my dad taught me at seven lol, I had like 3 pillows underneath my ass so I could see and the sit pushed all the way to the front lol. good memories. If I have a soon I'll do the same. the dad seems to have a lot of patience too, congrats!

  • ok next,, your guna give it more gas pull the ebrake up then drift that corner ok?!

  • @xkalexanderx916 lol now your gonna pull up next to the gas station and get ready for daddy to get back in the car and then you can go as fast as you want. OK?!

  • @xkalexanderx916 hell yea!!!!! Check this kid! Search youtube for: Kalle Rovanperä - 8 Year old rally driver

  • NICE !! IS A IMPREZA RIGHT

  • a very smart kidd ' aha (; im happy your not a crazy parent that would let him drive in a public area w/ lights and stuff!

  • Its not the fact that he may "hit" something, but your setting a precedent that hey yaknow im years old and im driving I can break the law if I want to. If you let him do this, haf the age of driving, would you let him drink and smoke ciiggarettes at age 12 so when he drinks hes gos in with some experience seriously if you cant see anything wrong with this theres something wrong with you. And I'm not hating on the 8 year old not at all, its not his fault his father is eading him wrong.

  • Your analogy is as poor as your spelling. I can assume from your judgmental tone that you never did anything like this with your dad growing up. And look how well you turned out. No offense, dude, but its really hard to take you seriously when you can't put together a simple paragraph.

    Had it just been this comment you made then fine, but the earlier comment you posted before this with all the profanity just punctuates my point.

  • @jdeakin72 well said

    iplover your a tool

  • @jdeakin72 *owned

  • @jdeakin72 my mother let me drive when i was 13 and it made me more responsible and it made me feel like she thought i was becoming more mature i never drove without asking her not even my friends cars this persons a idiot good work on being a father to your son

  • @jdeakin72 why did you change the subject? Although his English is not perfect, you still can get his point, you idiot...

  • @jdeakin72 And that's why your kid will be an awesome driver, and have great coordination :D

  • @jdeakin72 That guy talking crap is a fool. Great job man you must have explained it well for him to pick it up so fast. Well done by the boy.

  • @lplover108

    well yes it is illegal but figure this. He is going maybe 5 miles a hour on a huge empy parking lot. Nothing can happen there at that low speed and if he was heading for a post or something, the guy would have grabbed the wheel and corrected his mistake. Also its not like a cop is gonna come by on an empty parking lot to see if thats a kid or an adult practising. Dont be so overprotective.

    Enjoy life while you can

  • @lplover108 THIS GUY IS TO JEALOUS THAT HE DIDNT LEARN TO DRIVE AT THIS AGE GO EAT A CHODE.. HEY DO THAT LP STAND FOR LONG PENIS???

  • @lplover108 okay you are blowing this WAY out of proportion...this isent gunna lead him to a life of drugs and alcahol...you are retarded. He is gunna need to learn to drive at some point, I learned to drive at 8, I never drove on public roads untill I got my lisence , Only once and it was a VERY remote area with no traffic. and guess what im probly ten times the driver you will ever be. why ?

  • @lplover108 cus I mucked around , learned to steer nd shift early , and learned to controll a car in the snow and all that, backroads and abandon parking lots. Im sorry your dad was too busy getting drunk or cheating on your mom to do cool stuff with you but dont take it out on others.
