For you guys who want to learn...

Step 1: Go out and buy a $600 stick POS

Step 2: Sell it for $500 when you're done.

I went a different route and bought a new 6 speed car and never once drove stick before. I just taught myself and I'll let my warranty handle the rest.

i've thought about this as well. I think it would be a little easier if i did it at 16/17 opposed to now. Still not impossible though.

I think I learned to drive on a manual trans when I was like 12. Our rock crawler was a stick. Miserable to learn to drive stick in a lifted truck going 5 MPH over rocks.

i went from 2 manual cars to 2 automatic cars. And i am not happy. The camaro will be manual one of these days, but an auto was cheaper to throw in for now. And jaguar doesnt make stick 4doors. uhg, i'll be back behind the stick one of these days =[
