Seriously, have you ever noticed how any time someone expresses interest in learning how to drive a manual transmission, those who already can come out and start mocking the people and telling them that they're not real drivers and should just go buy a Prius because they suck? Someone tries to learn and they attack them for asking. Then they go on and whine that no one drives a manual transmission.
Unfortunately, happens all the time on these threads. I would recommend a professional driving course. They will teach you how to really handle a manual so that you will both enjoy driving and be a better driver.
