Not everyone is retarded and speeds buddy.

My parents didn't want me to get a WRX or even a 5 speed mazda 3 because it would be "dangerous" for me to be driving manual for my first car

so what did they do?

They got me a car that has awful side impact ratings, no side airbags, and no ABS. Not such a wise choice in my opinion. Buy me something MORE dangerous KNOWING that I will sell it as soon as I possibly can.
