Ah, well im just about to turn 17, and i recall learning to drive a stick.
i was in Kingman county, for eveyone that doesnt know anything about some of the outlying countys in kansas its po dunk to the extreme. Well i had a family friend thats parents lived out there and he had been drinking since 5pm and its now around 9-10pm and i decided i wanted to learn to drive a manual so he offered to teach me on my moms car.
we took the car around in the neighborhoods but i was really bad at working the clutch after a stop and with all these stop signs in this hick town he started to tell me to run the stop signs. After a little bit i got it to some extent so we took it out on the main streets(which seem like a ghost town at this hour) and then i realize that no only is he drunk, but he actually brought a beer into the car to teach a minor that has no DL to drive a car.
Its a fun experience and im glad i learned how to drive a manual car i hope your son loves it as much as i do.
