So here is a dillema:thud: :
The '07 Coupe my father and I just ordered is a standard transmission (only way to go, right?), but only dad and I can drive a stick...
Now my mother loves Corvettes - the only reason she married my dad was because he picked her up for their first date in a '74 - but she only knows how to drive an automatic.
Now, she has been begging me to get an automatic so she can drive it... but this is my first Corvette, and I'm young, so I want the manual
Which leads me to my question - would any of you ever teach anyone how to drive stick on your brand new Vette? What if it was your own dear old mama? Right now she drives an automatic 350Z, so she knows how to handle the performance, just not the clutch...
So my friends, what would you do? Change the order to get an automatic just so mom can go to Wal-Mart in the Vette? or teach her how to drive the six speed?
