yeah, if its your first manual....controlling the gas and clutch can get pretty tricky to get really comfortable with it.....my advice....take it easy on the gas and go for smoothness, cause if you can achieve great form and smoothness, racing is very easy....its really about how you control the clutch anyway....slow and steady for beginners.....and before you know it, you'll be a master!

After two weeks and one week of driving, Im 75% confident.

I'm still not good at parallel parking though.

when i first got the tc i felt just a bit claustrophobic (sp?). I was really used to all the room in my old jeep cherokee. Got used to it pretty quick though and i love my tc.
