2nd manual here.
1994 Toyota Tercel 4 speed, no 5th gear overdrive. (bought in 2007, fun car)
2016 FiST* (very fun)
That said I didn't go into stick naked. I have been riding motorcycle for 11 years now. So, the first 'stick' I learned was motorcycle. Not that many care about my motorcycle history. But...
(All 6 speed)
1994 Kawasaki Ninja 500
2002 Kawasaki ZZR 1200
2006 Suzuki SV650S
2005 Honda VFR800
2007 Yamaha FZ1
2016 Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 RR
2006 Kawasaki Concours 14
2017 Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 RR
2007 Yamaha FZ1*
The 16 Tuono had a quick shifter for clutchless upshift. The 17 Tuono had quickshifter and Auto blipper for clutchless up and down shifts, with rev-matching on downshifts. These bikes were optional manual, I guess you could say. You really only wanted to Quick shift above 3000 RPMs (12,500 red line) and not recommended to clutchless downshift into first.
My Fiesta ST is my summer car. I'm in all automatics since 1995 other than the two mentioned. Honestly, I'm glad of it, as right now I have two jobs and the first job is rush hour both ways, the second job is rush hour to work, everyone's home on my way home from job #2. A stick with three out of four trips being rush hour would be doable, but grating.
I also have a CDL license. So I know how to drive stick with no synchros, a crawler gear, flipswitch for separate gears, and I trained on an 8 speed and a 10-speed.
