Hello Morganism0504. I have a good friend in Chicago. When he first visited me in Cologne, Germany, he really wanted to drive my Elise. I asked (because he is American) if he could drive a manual car. Yes, of course was the answer. So he drove and is was very interesting. I asked him which manual car he had driven so far. "Sony Playstation, Grand tourismo" was his answer. Well....meanwhile he has an Elise since 8 years himself. When he comes to visit us today, he'll borrow a shift car for a whole day for the Nürburgring. Two years ago, when he last visited us, it was a new Renault Alpine. He has become a fantastic driver. I am convinced that you will also enjoy shifting gears.
