    Yup! Taught the fiance how to drive a 5 speed :twisted: ;) She did really good! Took her to the stadium parking lot here in Abbotsford (no cars ;) ) I thought maybe starting on the hill lesson would have stressed her out but she didn't stall once! *phew* ...then I let her drive home :? Stalled twice at an intersection, luckily no one was mad and honking today lol... All in all I was super impressed how she picked it up so fast! Woot! Here's a pic of her and my pavement princess... the car that is... ;)

    To tell the truth, Mandi learned quicker than I did! You have to start off slllooooowwwww.... She didn't give any gas to start moving, just releasing the clutch and we did that for about 10 minutes, THEN she was allowed to give it gas in first gear and eventually switch to second ;) Besides, I find that older cars are MUCH easier to learn on, because they are so broken into... Unless of coarse you have all thoes crazy awesome cool mods that I don't have haha.
