well i don't think you could've done any worse than me. When i got my speed i was pretty much really VERY inexperienced with it. While learning to drive it (finding the engagement point was a big pain in the ass) i would tend to overgas it at a stop and go's and like once or twice i would accidently release clutch way too fast and grind 2nd into 3rd, (and once 1st going into 2nd, which resulted in a very loud grinding noise)

but before i realized it, i had gone 500 miles, so by the time i was proficient at driving my car the engine had already been "broken in"

stalling was a big issue too. word of advice, don't let ppl drive your car, unless they drive or have driven stick proficiently. I let my friend test drive my car, who said he drove a manual for like a week and knew how to drive, and he stalled my poor yaris 3 times before he gave up. He couldn't get used to the clutch :o

anyways to sum things up my yaris still drives fine, and hopefully will run great for years to come. I know how it is, it always helps to read about how other people have made mistakes so you don't feel like a complete idiot.
