Oh to add, all of my guy friends can drive stick. It's a european thing. Our dads would be embarassed to have a son that can't drive stick. Same will go for my son if I ever have one. My girlfriend and mom can drive stick too.

Oh man, I remember my dad trying to teach me and it was a disaster. I just couldn't understand what he ment by "find that magical spot where the clutch pulls the car, then add gas". I knew what he ment but I just couldn't do it. It wasn't until my buddy got an old standard hyundai that was so loud and such a bucket that I could hear what he was doing with the gas and clutch, that I figured it out. After that I learned in a day or two.
