Does your girlfriend/wifey dive on stick?
 

Just wondering, im glad my g/f actually can drive stick and has an intrest in cars, anyone else this lucky? :eek5:

My wifes' DD is our '06 MS6. She loves driving it. I don't think I'll ever talk her into a auto. Her first car was an MX-3, then an '02 Celica, now the MS6, all manual's. What's awesome... she can actually tell you what boost is and how the turbo works.

My fiancee has always driven stick (3 different cars) and I know she prefers it. She wants a Honda Pilot though so...

It’s all I can do to keep my GF out of my normally aspirated miata, the one with the kick ass radio. She won’t drive the turbo car, and the world is a safer place.:giggle:

my gf steals my car all the time, just to boost around,
she takes her sister to the store, then i get texts from her sister saying how she wont shut up about how quick the spool time is since the 3" turbo back install

If my g/f did that I would probably hug her to death when she returned home. ;)

My GF rides a Yamaha FZ6 but wants to drive the Miata at the next autocross. :eek5:

My wife drives the SRT4, so yes.

I was trying to teach my g/f to drive stick. We used her brothers SVT Focus, but the shifter was too notchy for her to drive easily. I got her into my Miata and she was doing pretty well.

After a few days she said shifting was stupid and not worth it. I guess she just got tired of it. Oh well, with the 6 puck going it I won't ever have to share it.

The g/f is scared of the clutch in the miata and thinks manual transmissions are a waste of time. I tried to teach her on my truck and she did great until she backed us into the ditch and then almost into a telephone poll. That was the end of that and when it comes to driving i'm in the driver seat 90% of the time. The other 10% is her driving her own car when we're on road trips, its an automatic.

Mine can drive it fairly well...even with the XT PP and 9lb flywheel. She actually got BETTER when I put those in, because she could feel the clutch engagement. She just hates driving it though.

my girl drives stick and prefers it that way. She has never had an auto. She could give two shits about cars though, she starts rolling her eyes 2 seconds BEFORE i ever bring anything up.

With a title like does she like to "dive on stick".... I wasn't thinking about her and a manual transmission. ;)

not a chance. i can't even get her to learn using the argument "what if there were an emergency and the only car available to drive is a stick?". :mad:

When my wife and I went car shopping, she wanted a new corolla. I said the only way I will sign the paperwork is if she gets a stick and learns how to drive it. Shes put about 30K miles on it so far.

My girlfriend loves riding in the miata, and keeps asking to learn to drive stick. I tell her "Once you learn you can drive it, but you won't learn on my car". Then I make her make me a sandwich and do the laundry.

My wife has always driven a manual except for the past few vehicles that have been SUV's. Her current ride is an automatic Trailblazer SS, but the 395 hp/400 ft-lbs LS2 makes up for it. She has also autocrossed as long as I have and is the current SCCA E-Stock Ladies National Champion! :)

My wife is not what I consider an enthusiest but she drive a stick.

my wife learned how to drive a on turbo 5-spd mazda. when she wanted a prelude she couldn't find a 5-sp for sale so settled on the auto, when it craps the bucket she wants another prelude with a 5-sp.

Sadly no. Come to think of it, I don't think any girl that I've dated could...

Samnavy,

You by any chance on the mazdas247 forum?

NOPE! and thats the way I want it.

all was good until I installed the clutchnet 6 puck cerametallic and act xtreme :doh:

my gf's first car was a stick.

most of my gfs drove sticks. and could parallel park.

saturn dealerships will teach them how to drive a stick if you look like a customer.

i don't know any women.

Quit bleeding gayness all over the forum.

Wheres the choice "wants to learn, but I havent gotten around to actually letting her practice".

let's see.. i have a turbo Miata.... my gf has a turbo Miata....... yup.

My wife drives an '06 GTi 6 speed, before that was an '03 VR6 GTi 6 speed, '01 Wolfsburg 5 speed, you get the picture.

When the '06 came out, I told her about the DSG trans, how all the magazines raved about it, and suggested she at least test drive one. No dice, she wanted something with a clutch.

When I first met my girlfriend she said she won't drive an automatic and won't date anybody that drives an automatic.

I've got a login there, but never use it except for the occasional bit of homework or claffifieds. I hit up Mazda6Club in the Mazdaspeed6 forum a couple times a week to make sure I'm not missing anything. I go to RX7 club once a week to check the classifieds.

she drives an auto but her next car will be manual, she can do it, just not real well without practice. she's driven us home when i was too drunk to drive

this was yesterday, i had her drive around while i took pictures of the car with my cell phone

im teaching my g/f to drive stick right now. she already drives without stalling but still scared to go on big streets

She can, but really doesn't like it. Has a problem making coffee...
I'd rather that she dive on someone elses stick :jerkit:

:bigtu:Check the title. As long as she is doing it on only mine, fine. :bigtu:

Bought my wife a MS3 and she's good at driving it... she's always been quite the sporty girl so it wasn't too hard to get her out of her 285HP Volvo and into something new and more nimble. So now that she's got a new car, her 2nd ever new ride, she's too nervous to drive it in traffic or alone. So she steals my turboed miata for her runs around town and I'm stuck with the MS3 most of the time... not that I am bitchin tho!

Cheers,
Prospero

Man i thought i was the only one that caught that, i just figured i must have a dirty mind.


lmfao, let me ask you sir.. does your GF enjoy diving on stick?. Mine does!

Sadly, we now know who wears the pants at your place.

meh......late-comers.....

Check post #13...... I voted yes cuz she does.

Taught the wife and the daughter to drive a stick in my old 91 toyota pickup in an open parking lot. Still can't remember why I taught the wife but I taught the daughter so if she was ever stuck someplace and the only way home was to drive a manual transmission, she would know how to do it.

Yup. She is 56 and has never owned an automatic.

Yup, she has always had a standard. She is way into cars, mostly from her dad.

First car - Mini S
Second - '03 Accord V6 (Greddy cat back, wheels, suspension work)
Now - '05 STi (too many mods to list)

Wanna go tradesies?

Nope...she is a keeper.

Cooks, cleans, into cars, and wants to go to law school.

I couldn't have asked for more if I had been given the chance.

I'm game for trading too. Hell, I will include my car. ;)

none of the exs have driven a stick.

I tried teaching one for that whole just incase and she started to learn really well from the start and got scared and was never able to finish. Just glad I never hurt myself skating.

My Fiancee does not trust automatics and refuses to drive them. We have never owned anything else then stick shift cars.

She gave a sales guy the burn of his life when we test drove an RX-8 with the 6-speed auto. I shifted with the paddles on the wheel, of course and he offered to “put it automatic mode, if mam wants to drive it”. She told him that “autos, paddle and what not” was for “little boys to play with” and said that she would drive an RX-8 the day he had one with a proper stick on the lot.

My girl loves the 5-speed. I bought her a super clean auto miata. I have had to buy bolt ons and rims to make her happy. And she still wants a turbo.

She claims she is going to steal my 5-speed when I get the turbo on! Lol
She says the red one is hers, and so is the turbo car. Lol
I told her to finish her degree and buy her own. LOL

Girl Can Drive A 5-speed
 

My girl wants me to get the turbo car together so she can out run my friends and tell them "YOU WERE BEAT BY A GIRL!". lol

My G/F can parallel park and back into places like a mother fucker. I think she is better than I am at parking.

She can drive a stick shift but then goes out to buy an autotragic Scion.

My wife knows how to drive a stick; autoxes with me occasionally (she'll atleast go out and watch); can identify cars/models; drives a Honda Pilot and is quick to romp on it if she thinks someone is getting a little frisky at a light.

i taught mine how to drive stick last year so she could take a car from her parents that they couldn't drive...she actually learned faster than I did. An NA miata is an easy car to learn to drive in. On the other hand she HATES cars and my hobby, but tolerates it.

Mine always has! Why would you want one that didn't?

Her first car was a real Mini....... with a really long one!

She has problems bleeding clutches cause it is not hard when she finishes going down and up!

She seems to sleep a lot at Dyno days!

my wife was born/raised in germany...many years with stick+autobahn...thats y i married her
She's a closet enthusiast...rolls her eyes about car talk,mods, etc...But then gets in the car and rips thru the gears..prob better than me
