It's cool, man... I'm not scared of driving stick at all! I have driven a stick before... It's just I'm in no position (financially, whatever...) to convert my Civic to a stick. Nor, do I wish to mod my Civic with a substantial amount of money. For the next 2 yrs, I'm all about cheap mods... It's all I can afford!
Moreover, I'd rather mod a car that's more worthwhile... That will be in 5 yrs or so...
