My father made me learn how to drive a stick in Baltimore City before I could get my license. Fortunately it wasn't too hard for me. I rode enduro bikes as a kid so it was just a matter of having my left foot do what my left hand was used to doing, and my right hand do what my right foot was used to doing.

same here, but my poor celica had a 1" clutch travel so it was really hard to learn

Like everyone has mentioned... Don't do a dealer trade. Imo never do one. Ride it out, trust me you dont want to start the old Upside down game.

There can be some advantages to a dealer trade. In Maryland anything we get for a trade is deducted from the price of the new vehicle and we don't pay sales tax on that amount. That just saved me nearly 2K on my Z. I'm sure I could have sold the car on my own and gotten that 2K, but it would have taken quite a bit of time and I would have had to go through the hassle of clearing the title, bill of sale, inspection, etc..
