damn, its amazing how many of you folx have been to Japan to see what all those folx are doing before hitting the mountain <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sigh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

'> I heard they also like to eat strawberry Pocky before hitting the twisties. Yeah, learn to drive stick first and then worry about the crazy crap. It'll take time for you to know your car and when you are on the edge of breaking traction.
I must be a real bad driver because I've been driving stick for 10 years and still cannot properly drift on dry roads. Powerslide yes, spin out yes, drift no. Its a whole different ball of wax when theres rain or snow but its just not the same.
I'm glad you enjoy your 240. Just be careful, it can be very easy for a newbie to break the rear loose and not recover or overcorrect putting you in an uncontrollable spin. Learn how to tranfer the weight in your car and steady pedal input.
