It's the internet, people get worked up over everything.

Not to derail the 'learn to drive stick in' thing but that truck reminded me of a truck we had at the shop I worked at in Okinawa. It was exactly like this but had USN stuff on it.

Very similar to my experience: 1994 Escort Wagon - The Driver's Ed whipping boy

Learned on. Off-road of course.

Perfected on.

1986 Chevy Camaro Berlinetta 2.8L V6. Yaaaay!! It was my step-dads, his was white, found this pic off teh interwebz. One of the first things I did was powershift it. LOL

My mom was with me and she said, "What the hell do you think you're doing?"
I said, "Powershifting".
She said, "Don't bang it off the rev limiter when you do that, lift off the accelerator just a little bit between shifts and it'll be smoother."

I perfected the heel-toe and more powershifting and clutchless shifting and all that stuff on this... My actual old 1993 525i. I miss that car...

Learned stick on an old Ford tractor - no idea what model - and in one of these: '62 Ford unibody pickup.
