Learning how to drive with stickshift

My friend Bernát was so lovely that he let me use his Mercedes and taught me how to use a stickshift.
Time was pressuring us because we only had an hour or maximum two. He was surprised how fast I started the car and slowly rolled... the beginning was very promising but fast I caught up on stalling the car couple of time...
This was necessary for me to have a feel for the clutch.
It is maybe more economical to drive such car but I am already spoiled and used to the automatic stift... it was strange to handle 3 pedals with 2 feet and plus the stick.
But now I can say I did drive a car with stickshift :)
