…knowing how to drive the old-fashioned way.
“They apparently couldn’t start it,” Bean said. “I had to tell him four different times to push in the clutch, because it’s a standard transmission.”

Too funny! My daughter wants to learn to drive a standard. She'll have to learn from her dad, because I never did master that trick. I could do first gear and reverse–enough to move his car, when he still had a standard car.
Why we take Dad's car to malls & other places where theft is a concern….
Haha..My hubby's car is a 6 speed and I was thrilled when he got it last year. I said now we'll have a vehicle to teach the kids how to drive a manual. I think it's one of those things you need to learn when young and you'll never forget, like swimming or riding a bike. I still remember learning how to drive one when I was in high school and my mom got a little red convertible…talk about incentive! Lots of good stories of learning how to drive that thing.
Both of our cars are manual transmissions – in fact, that is one of the requirements when we buy a new car.
Therefore, my kids will be able to steal whatever they want 🙂 No seriously, they have both learned sticks.
