My fiance wants to learn how to drive a manual-- which I'm all for, but she wants to learn on my car...
Granted I learned on my car, but if I fucked it up, it had only myself to blame. But I caught on pretty quickly.
I have no doubt she can do it, but she gets frustrated when she doesn't get the hang of something quickly. And when she gets frustrated she tends to ignore my advice/help.
The first car I drove stick was a Cruze (just a couple laps in a parking lot), which was much easier to get the hang of than the Camaro. So I've been looking at beaters for like $1,200 or less, but I'll be pissed if the thing craps out on me.
Has anyone done anything similar? Any tips?
