Does your girlfriend/wifey dive on stick?

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 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.
