Basically just waiting for approval but the financing stuff has already been finalized. I'll be parting ways with my current 2016 BRZ Sport-tech, which is automatic and will finally get to drive the car the way it was meant to be driven.

Only issue is I haven't driven a manual car in my life, so I'm kind of scared I won't be capable of driving it. I've watched a few YouTube videos on manual and honestly doesn't seem too bad. I'm mostly worried about slowing down at turns, stop & go traffic and hill starts/driving on hills.

If you guys have any tips for driving manual that'll make my life easier, or how long it took for you to get comfortable driving stick, please feel free to share
hey! I would bring someone with you thats comfortable driving stick when you get the car. I practiced mostly at night time when there was minimal traffic and I also did a lot of practice on hills. It took me probably close to a month of practicing an hour or so a week until I was comfortable enough in traffic. Good luck!
