Congrats! I love stick shifts. They are the only type of car I will buy. The first thing I do when I teach people to drive them is to get them behind the wheel and let them stall the car. That's right, I show them how to stall it before we even move an inch. Stalling and causing an accident is the biggest fear when learning to drive one, right? I just let them face and conquer the fear head on (no pun intended;). I also take them to areas that are a little bit hilly. There, I can show them how to compensate for gravity. Of course, ALL of this occurs in deserted parking lots or rural areas (not on public streets)! GREAT! Congrats! I love stick shifts. They are the only type of car I will buy.
