OK this is where I fail. I've never driven anything like that before... Oldest car I've driven is an '88.

I love my manual cars. I switched to automatics a little while back in CA because driving a manual through nightmare traffic is pretty painful. Now that I moved here, with the lighter traffic, I would get a manual if available for the car I'm looking for. Preferably a manual made by Tremec or Graziano

I had to sit there and wait while they did the work, since none of the young people working there could drive a four speed and get it in and out of the shop, and on and off the lift. I need to find a shop with REAL mechanics

If you can't drive a stick, you''re not a real mechanic.

If you can't heel and toe, you're not a real sports car driver

If you can't heel and toe, you can't really drive a stick.

You can't be either if you've never broken a shifter while enthusiastically switching gears.
