lets make phelans good point, and simplify it. if someone came up to you and offered to give you 7-8 thousand dollars to learn how to drive stick, would you? i'd be surprised if anyone answered 'no'. well, that's the exact situation you are in, just reversed. so yea... just think about it.

I admire the fact that you wanted to get this car in stick despite not knowing how to drive it at the time, but honestly, i was pretty much in your shoes, except i had a probably spent a total of 3 hours practicing and just driving around in another stick shift car over the month or so before getting my own Z.
