Well, I went out for a 120 mile ride. I stalled it once at the very, very beginning (I got nervous when a car pulled up my f-ing ***), but I fired it right back up and took off. Didn't stall again after that. What I learned is that revs are very important and that I shouldn't be too worried about feeding into the throttle. 2K RPMs gives the car healthy momentum forward as the RPMs begin to drop, and then I can keep the clutch at the grab, feed some more throttle and let off.

Since I have the synchro rev-match, bucking is non-existent here (only if you shift too quick at a slow speed). This 120 mile drive really helped me familiarize myself with the car. I went to my girlfriend's, and then to my brother's just to drive around. Both of their neighborhoods have a ton of stop signs so I got some solid practice in. Woo!
