It took me 1 day to learn stick,  its easy as fuck and fun. Plus you feel like a pro when shifting like a boss .     That, and it's harder to text and eat when you have to hold the wheel and shift.      First of all, everyone can do that on stick, since you dont need to shift once youre going the speed limit in the zone youre in. You also dont need your second hand to break once youre in city traffic. (just stay in 1-2th gear if its mad traffic, easy peasy) Second: stop texting/eating while driving you loon
