I specifically wanted a 5 speed just to keep my girlfriends from driving it.
(my old car was a 2007 Grand Prix GXP,
which was totaled by my idiot ex-girlfriend)

I couldn't agree more. When I bought this car I had literally never driven a five-speed before, and taught myself by driving it home that day (after Google-ing "how to drive 5 speed"
). I stalled it a lot the first few days, but now after 3,500 miles experience I never stall, and I have even raced it and get consistent low 16's on the 1/4 mile (at the track where racing is legal of course)
