I don't know if that was directed at me or for everyone, but I'll just add my 2 cents worth: I know you don't need to be old to drive a stick; and I guess for me, it's a little different trying to understand (as I grew up an a 100% auto family...guess I kinda missed out on the manual fun). Anyway, I guess if one watches others drive a manual (for about 16 years), they too will theoretically learn how to drive it as well. Sort of learn through watching others type of deal.
Well, take it easy, and good luck with the insurance
