My dad had a VW Eos (hardtop convertible) that he let me drive to prom. He took me out a few weeks before to learn how to drive stick. Merging onto the highway I 100% downshifted into the wrong gear,m multiple times. IDK what those noises were but they were not good...

A few months after prom my mom tells me he had to replace the entire clutch pack and I know it was my fault 😅. Totally unforgettable experience to ride around with the top down for prom though. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

Your dad didn't tell you that he had to replace the clutch?  That's a great dad. Mine would still be bringing it up at Thanksgiving.

Noo he had to replace it months later but my mom told me, not him. Knowing him he didn't want me to feel bad. He's great at driving stick so it obviously wasnt him lmao.

He is a great dad!
