Anyone have a beater with a stick shift?
 

So, the wife sees the progress on the car and says to me...

"I wish I could drive this!"

"yea, me too... I think you'd have fun"

"So you're going to teach me to use the clutch, right?"


The moment of panic set in when I realized that we only have one car with a clutch.... and that's got 600hp. :willy:

I only could get out... "Sure, hun... why not?"

Potentially expensive problem..............Maybe a small tractor in an open field instead? :D

My daily beater is 600hp 6-speed. Rain or shine:yes: But nobody is getting behind the wheel but me:woot:

Buy an older S-10, teach her to drive with it, and sell it. They hold their value well.

I have a 92 volvo 240 wagon, 5-speed. I see them periodically for less than $1k.

I have taught and let my wife drive my car, she even did a autocross with it, stick shift and all. She even stole the car while I was at work and took pictures of her with the car for Valentines present for me.

She loves the look from guys.

2002 WRX, Stage II

95 civic ex 1.6 vtec count? It's 5 speed with all new stock engine and full rebuilt transmission using honda parts. Fun to drive and can hit 7 grand in first gear before shifting if i wanna beat on it, not to mention get's 38 mpg. Cheap and semi fun for a to and from car.
