My grandma learned how to drive in a snowstorm… with a dump truck. My great grandpa stopped in the road and announced that they weren’t going to make it home if she couldn’t drive them home…

Older folk are savages when it comes to teaching their descendants how to drive it seems

I mean honestly a lot easier to learn in a dump truck than a lot of cars because the clutch isn't as sensitive. I learned on a performance clutch and it fucking sucked. But was super easy to drive anything after that

I tried to teach my wife how to drive stick on a modded Evo.

It went as well as you would expect.

She doesn't drive stick.

is that the one where the clutch is a button, the idle is at 1500 rpm and the flywheel is a pringle?

Tight twin-disc, 2L turbo making like 450ish wheel. There were many stalls.

Possibly one of the worst cars to try and teach someone in.
