FYI, one of the first times I ever drove stick was in an EXP. I may or may not have had my driver's licence at the time. (And may or may not have understood the concept of slipping a clutch to get moving.)
I first drove a stick in the '67 Mercedes 230SL that my dad and I restored. However, that was just for 5 minutes or so, under his guidance.

I _really_ learned to drive stick DURING a test drive of an '07 Honda Civic EX. I didn't understand slipping the clutch, and I think the salesman about peed himself when I jerked the car out of the parking lot.
