Does your wife or gf know how to drive a stick?
How many people have a girlfriend or wife that knows how to drive a manual transmission? i just taught mine yesterday and she did a great job even on a hill with cars behind us.

My girl wants to learn, but its probably not good to teach her (or anyone else), if you have a clutch thats anything but stock/OEM. Aggressive clutches are usually pretty hard to learn to drive on.

she doesn't know how to drive but if ever she learns, i'll start her right with a manual transmission car.
Maybe an old beat-up 1996 Civic would be a nice training car

We need another selection......"kind of"
If my wife was stuck, she could drive a stick, but she isn't going to win any races. I remember my dad telling me about teaching my mom to learn how to drive standard in his 1970 Nova SS. He would get pissed because she could "bark" the tires in 3rd gear but he never could! LOL! My mom (who is in her 60's now) is still a lead foot driver and was the person who taught me to drive many years ago. Thanks Mom!

Funny that someone else is in the same boat.
