I've been wanting this car for 3+ years and am finally in a financial position to comfortably afford an EN. My must-haves were a PB with a 6 speed. It sucks that dealer drilled front plate already but this was the only PB in a manual within my area (meanwhile there are 50+ DCTs available). Shout out to my sales rep Nick for thoroughly showing me the car features and how to get it rolling.

My buddy drove this back home for me because I have never driven a manual before (shout out JR, you're a real one for coming out with me on such short notice and coaching me the entire afternoon).  Stalled at least 30x in an empty parking lot today trying to get in gear from a stop but finally got the hang of it to where it was noticeably smoother. Driving it on the streets got me a bit stressed, esp since i was at the front of the stop light, but I'm so happy I didn't stall it when it mattered most. Shifts were not pretty but hey, I'll take what I can get. Rowing my own gears was such a satisfying feeling, even though I spent 90% of my time just getting the feeling of the clutch and finding/releasing the bite point. 

I would appreciate some tips from any veteran/experienced drivers. I'm hoping I can track this car at Laguna Seca or Sonoma one day. If anyone here is in the NorCal N Club, please lmk! Would be awesome to meet other Nthusiasts in the Bay. 

Still (i)N shock
