Default Teaching little sister...

So I am teaching my little sister to drive manual. I am giving her my 3 gen 89 prelude for her first car. She is catching on fast. still a little jumpy in first but other then that she has got the idea. She did her first burn out today trying to start from first. so anyone else here tought a younger family member to drive stick? It's kind of funny watching them freak out when they stall out. anyways was just bored so...

I'm still waiting for someone to teach me

No one cares enough too... eventhough I can do it pretty much already.

I tried to teach my oldest sister years ago. It was too annoying, so I just gave up.

It says in your signature you have an STi. My confusion level is high.

:doh: I first tried to teach my wife. she almost burned the clutch out. Now I have to replace it before I let my sister have it. The sad part is it was strong before my wife got ahold on it... but like I said my sister is doing good. maybe a few more times out and she will have it.

I recently tried to teach my fiancee how to drive my gsr because she doesn't know how to drive stick. I told her that my car was kinda tricky to drive anyway because the clutch engagement point is pretty high. She did alright for her first time. :hsdunno:
