So this is a bit embarrassing but after 25 years on this planet I still never really drove a stick shift car. I mean I did it a few times just playing around on my friends car but never actually drove a car which was stick. So I have a question for you guys.

I ride bikes all the time and have absolutely no issues shifting gears and riding them aggressive with constant gear change. Does that concept transfer over at all to cars just obviously use your feet instead of finger?

I plan on picking up a Nismo mid next month and don't want to look like a dumb *** stalling the car all over the parking lot.

Would appreciate a little advice so I know if I should just let the sales guy drive me or if I should just screw it and go for it. I am sure I will have no issues after a few screw ups, but just a little nervous to fail in public I guess.
