Teaching my 15YO to drive my A

[eagle]

Took my 15 year old with her learner's permit out last night for some "stick shift" lessons. She did really well, went to a restaurant a few miles away and had dinner, it was dark when we were done so I drove home. Took her about three stop/go times to start getting the feel for the clutch engagement. I told her to just wait between gears, and she had no problem with shifting. I think a lot of the time kids get a bad rap but if parents/grandparents were more willing to spend time teaching them they'd love to learn.
