You're 21 and don't know how to drive stick?

Re: Good beginner stick shift?
You can't feel the weight and movement in a sim. I played sims for years and still looked like a fool the first time I tried driving standard in a parking lot. It's good for learning the basics of how the process works, but theory and practice are really different. Having a good teacher who can really explain things and remembers how it felt when they first started driving will help a lot.
In all seriousness, we never owned any manuals when I was growing up. The only "manual" I've ever driven was fourwheeler, and we got rid of that around the time I was like 16.

first car I drove was a 64 impala... 3 on the tree. I was about 11. My grandma had a senior moment. She came into the room, threw me the keys and asked me to run to the store for her. "ok!" and off I went. Didnt grind that much but really I just stayed in second there and back. lol i couldnt have been much more than 4 ft tall.

OP, I was driving my mom's manual accord in the Kmart parking lot when I was 15. I insisted on learning manual first and wanted to learn earlier. Basically what I'm saying is you've wasted 5 years of your life. I shutter to think what else you don't know how to do. The good news is if you keep going at this rate you'll be able to change your own oil in another 5 years.

the better news is you are not a douche like yardjass and lord doofus. 
You can learn to drive a stick in 20 minutes.... they'll still be monkey spankers.
go you!
