Boris, Larry is right. I've even tried teaching FRIENDS how to drive a stick
shift. They are no longer my friends. I still hate them. In fact, why my
parents still talk to me, I have no idea.
On the other hand, working in your favor is that you're looking for a
rent-a-car. Watching anyone you know and love dismantle your gear box as you
sit powerless in the passenger seat is enough to drive most anyone over the
brink. That's why I learned on those press cars that my folks would get for
a week. The Merkur was one of the easier cars, as was the second generation
RX-7.
I think James' friend might have an '82 Accord available.
