But for real, I think possibly the best thing you could do is find a very large and empty parking lot in the rain and practice controlling oversteer at low speeds.
These cars are not nearly as dangerous as people make them out to be, but its still a rwd car with enough ass to make a nun blush...
Its all preference. I’m still at the point in life where I have no issues with driving stick in traffic or whatnot, but I don't really care what anyone else drives
I'll also throw in Built By Basil shift knobs. Wood might not be your thing, but he can make gorgeous custom shift knobs with engravings, patterns, flags, etc.
I bought from him years and years ago when he was much smaller, he's only gotten better since then. Highly recommend his work...
