At one point during one summer, the only car available to drive was our family's old VW bus, so I hopped in with my dad and rode over to the University of Dayton Arena's parking lot, and learned how to drive the thing. That was probably the most difficult vehicle I could have learned a stickshift in (excluding a schoolbus or an 18-wheeler, maybe) but that was good for me. I've never had any trouble driving a manual since.

A twin? What an interesting concept. Alas, I did not write the above post(s). Though it looks like syrinx and I do have a lot of beliefs in common. :)

Though most of my bloodline hails from the highlands of Scotland, I _do_ have some English and German roots as well. Scary.

I also live in Ohio, but southwest, not northeast. I did live in Cleveland for about five years though.
