    The 13 speed is my favorite, I learned and trained on a 13 speed. Great for mountain driving! Not hard to learn either.

    The 13 speed is basically a 9 speed in which you split the upper gears in half with a thumb switch on the side of the stick.

    Its pretty easy, and you can shift it just like a 9 speed up to the last gear

    Actually night shift (to a point) can be beneficial with your trainer. There will certainly be lots of that available when you're solo, but there is a different world out there after midnight and discovering it with your trainer can be a little more relaxing for when you get out there alone.
    And who knows? You may learn to enjoy it!
