Re: How often do you make mistakes?
Great topic, I was wondering the same too. So I've been driving a manual for more than a year, pretty much daily, and what I can say is that there are good days and bad days. Here is what I mean.

Re: jomotopia's new ride
very nice in orange, would love to see the interior as well. If you don't mind me asking, how much did it roughly cost you?

Re: What's your driving style?

I don't leave it in gear unless the light is about to turn green.

Re: Stalling in 2nd gear at low speed
It really depends on the situation and what kind of an incline, if any, there is. For what you have described I usually rev match into 1st to avoid lugging in 2nd and then finally shift into 2nd @ ~2000-2500 RPM However, sometimes I go in 2nd gear, especially if it's somewhat of a downhill situation...
