I was sweating and heart was racing. I taught myself how to drive a standard on an E-Type and of course had my 280z. For some reason I feel daunted to drive a manual. especially on I-95 in traffic.

I was driving a 95 300z AT for 11 years. That car was fun. I went from that to a 370 NISMO manual transmission. I was a bit slow the first few days to get back in the swing of things. A month into driving this car and it feels as though I never got away from a standard. I had no problem getting back into a stick, so if that's what you want, it will probably come back to you pretty quick. However that's just my experience.
