Welcome to the club!

One thing I like about WRB is that it's a Subaru-only color.

I, too, picked up my BRZ without knowing how to drive a M/T car.. don't worry though. After couple of stalls, you'll get the hang of it

congrats on the WRB love the colour.

if you find yourself stalling more than you like, what you can do(what I do) is find a quiet street(real quiet like industrial area on a weekend quiet) and hold the clutch down on a level stretch of road and slowly let it out, you'll feel the bite point where the car is starting to move on its own without any pressure on the accelerator, that's the point where you start letting off the clutch and putting on the gas.

I find this really helpfull when driving a new manual car as it get me used to the "bite" point where you have to get on the accelerator so you wont stall
