Hahah. At least I'm paying for it myself!

And feel good knowing you can actually drive a stick 10x better than me. This is my first manual car (if you haven't noticed). I've burnt the clutch a time or two, missed a gear a time or two (not grinded, just "missed" the fvcking gear) and I hit the revlimiter (or came close to it) one time on accident.

This is all within the first two days of driving. The above makes me sound like I'm driving the car like shit and not breaking it in properly, but I'm not hitting VTEC at every stop sign. I haven't even launched the car yet (because I don't know how!)

I DO NOT want to break it or harm it in any way. I didn't hit VTEC until after 200 miles (I know that doesn't say anything because the break-in is 600 miles according to Honda but that one popular webguy says DRIVE IT LIKE YOU STOLE IT TO BREAK IT IN. And the dealer told me there was no breakin period.

I don't know who to believe, but believe me -- 90% of the time I'm in 6th gear doing like 50-55MPH
