For those of you who can drive a MT consider yourselves "lucky", because not everybody has somebody to teach them or wants to rely on internet "DIY" to learn it.

if you can find yourself a cheap beater, i say go for it. if you REALLY wanna learn how to drive MT, youll catch on real quick.

unlike my older bro, who back in high school was forced to TRY to learn MT cause all my family had was MT cars. but the butthead gave up & saved for an AT car for himself
