    I've done it before, its cool and everything, but still not a stick. Get a beater with a stick and learn in that if you do not want to mess up a nicer car.

    i was freaked out when that switch went bad and actually got stuck in manual mode. I didn't know what I was doing. Sure did take side roads home. I got the hang of it a lil bit, but not sure when to shift, if i take foot off gas when i shift, or what...
