Porsche

Ok so i was looking at a 2004 porsche boxster that i was thinking of buying in 2010/2011. thing is, its manual transmission. so does that mean ill have to use a stick shift? im 16 btw. like thats fine with me i can learn how to use that. gears 1-6. but i mean how do i switch between d,r,n, park, all those? are those all on the same stick. because i was browsing online and i only saw one big stick in the middle, nothing else, so im assuming on that stick its got like 10 different settings. like this:parkneutralreversedrive123456and thats it, right?

For a 3 gear man . transmission, step on the clutch, shift into first gear, when the cars starts to get around 20mph hit the clutch and shift to 2nd gear, when you get to 30mph and above hit the cutch and shift to 3rd gear. you continue to drive in 3rd gear as long as your speed is 30 or above, or otherwise clutch and downshift to a lower gear. basically that is it.
