Agreed that its not the smartest idea to practice on the Porsche, but its the only car I have right now.

I thought about getting a 2k - 3k beater car to practice on, but that seems like it could be a money pit too. Getting clutch changes for a honda is about $500 ? .. last time I changed the clutch on the Box was about $800. Not big enough of a diff to go through all that trouble .. what I worry about though, is messing up the tranny. However, I'm still under CPO warranty for another year so crossing my fingers.
