PM Aaron of Lithia Toyota - he's the best resource for Toyota OEM stuff. And an excellent MR2 resource in general, actually.
And you don't drink? Psh, beer doesn't count as drinking unless you start before noon.

That's actually a really good thing, I know a lot of kids with alcoholic parents that have really ****ered their lives because of it.
Driving stick is easy as hell, you just have to have some common sense and practice to do it. Within a week or two it will feel completely natural. My MR2 was my first stickshift car and I lived on a giant hill when I got it. I seriously stopped noticing that I was even shifting or doing anything special after a week or two.
