I am a valet so I had to learn how to. I always knew the basic concept of it. I always wanted to learn so my mom and I went to the Chevy dealership and "test drove" a camaro to try out my shifting skills. Now I can drive any car. And let me tell you, some of those cars.... WOW!

I sometimes get the severe urge to drive a manual and I drive my monte like one. Start in the 1 then bump it up to 2, 3,ten Over Drive. Its good fun. I pretend there is a clutch too.

Yep. I find myself paying attention to my surroundings more when I drive a stick too.
