[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I Drive Smart has a course for manual transmission.

This. I taught my then boyfriend (now husband) on my brand new (at the time) Honda Civic. I was 24 and it was the first car I had ever bought. It was painful.  I was way too nice. I’d never do that now, not on a brand new car!  That said, we have a 13 yo manual transmission Honda Civic (not the same one) that we’re hanging on to because it’s a a great car that’s totally paid off, and so I can teach my DCs how to drive a manual transmission car.[/quote]

A guy that couldn’t drive a stick is a deal-breaker. I wouldn’t give someone like that the time of day, let alone a relationship/marriage. That’s just something that men should’ve learned in their teens. [/quote]

Yep!  I dated a guy that drove a truck.  He wanted to take me to dinner in Georgetown and asked if we could take my car which was an Acura Integra--certainly smaller than his full size pickup. I said sure as long as he drives--I didn't want to drive.  He agreed and got in the driver seat and then looked to the right and saw the gear shift.  He then had to fess up that he couldn't drive my car.  I ended up laughing--I couldn't help it.[/quote]

Pp who taught boyfriend/husband to drive stick.  I was annoyed, and he definitely lost points for that, but I really liked him, and like I said, was way too nice. Now at 40, if we ever split up and I started dating again, any guy who can’t drive stick would need a lot of other good qualities to make up for that lacking  :wink: [/quote]
