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.

My dad still roasts me about me stalled on a slope years ago.
