If cars could talk all the automatics would probably be laughing hysterically when the stick shift came home "What the <bleep> happened to you?!?", most stick shift cars go through this short term "Learning period of the stupid human" and are fine, if you blew your clutch from this it was about to go anyway.

I went through this too when I was 17 and bought my first car, the fact that it was a car I could afford was all that mattered, never mind the fact that I had no idea how to drive a stick shift, I should have given all my friends Dramamine before I left the driveway.
