All 3 boys learned to drive on an automatic and then once they had some experience under their belts, we taught them to use a stick. Their first cars were all manuals and another advantage was that their friends at college never asked to borrow their cars. When we bought S1’s car, H was injured and unable to drive. I hadn’t driven a stick in many, many years but had to do the test drive with H next to me. I was a nervous wreck but it went fine. It really does come right back to you.

@alwaysamom -S2 and DIL have talked about trying to get on the Amazing Race, and the first thing we said was the DIL has to learn to drive a manual transmission!
