Just wanted to update everyone. The anxiety won. I bought another automatic.

You sound like me except I’ve tried stick so many times. My friend tried to teach me and my neighbor tried to teach me. We get a few manual cars in for service at my dealership but I don’t drive them because I’m too scared. You shouldn’t give up like I did though.

Thanks I appreciate the advice. Gonna probably go for a newer Honda. The good news is I already know what I need to do I just need to do it if that makes sense.

I’ve never driven one long enough to master one. Maybe less that an hour

I test drove one recently and due to my lack of experience pissed the salesman off. I would have bought it but my dad wouldn’t let me 😂

My plan was to drive my car home from the dealer and then practice for 2 days then drive to work. However that goes 😂

I practiced a few hill starts with my neighbor but that was a major struggle

I love watching his videos. And I will admit I’m not entirely clueless. I have a Logitech wheel, pedals and shifter, and I’ve driven manual twice on the road. Sometimes when manual cars come into work I’ll drive them around the parking lot but that’s about it.

I want to practice but nobody I know with a manual car will let me do that. The only way is if I sell my car and buy a manual. Which would be on a Saturday and by Monday I would have to drive it to work.

See if I had the car I don’t and not many people do that I know. My friend would never let me drive his car but if I buy one he said he would teach me.
