Would You Let Your Gf Drive Your Manual Car?

First off, I want to say that girls that know how to drive a manual car are
HOTT! For example, take a look at this video:YouTube - Hot girls driving Super Honda Prelude

So I was driving with my girl today to lunch and she asked me "Hey would you let me drive your car?" I ended up telling her "maybe another time" lol b/c i'm not sure if she does know how to drive manual or not.

lol take a look at this video of a girl trying to drive an Si:

I've let total noobs drive my car in an empty lot. Taught them on my car. It's not a sports car, so I thought, "Why not"?

Granted, one friend isn't used to high-revving and he was wary of going over 5k RPM. Heh.

Only if she isn't a clutch slipper. Stalling dosen't matter to me, but smoking clutches do.

I tought one of my girlfriends to drive manual in my old crappy Volvo wagon and she was great, I let her drive all the time. Got her a Maxima and she sucked at at. I was going to teach one of my female friends in the Si but I got rid of it and sadly don't have a manual anymore.

I've let my GF drive my car before, and she did fine.

She drives a Mustang GT as a DD, so she's used to manual. She says that our clutch is to "soft", which compare to her GT is a reasonable response IMO. lol.

Yes,

Im in the process of teaching my girl how to drive my car, shes good until she stalls once and then its like she loses her concentration and keeps stalling. Theres a 3 mile road by her house with lots of businesses thats always empty on week ends.

I let my dad drive me car a few weeks after i got it. I told him to let it go allt he way past 7k before shifting and he was like 'wtf? isnt that bad for the car!?' ... then vtec kicked in and he was like

... I have another friend that drove it and he was driving me insane. I told him to let it rev out, but he would shift JUST at 5800rpms... you could hear it start to crossover... but then it would go back down... it was like getting blueballs.

Seriously. The same friend drove our mutual friend's S2000. He told him to wind it up to even just 7k (since crossover is at 6k) and he did it SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWL Y. It's like...yeah, blueballing.

I nearly busted a nut right there...then I did, because she did a perfect downshift (window was down, and she had an exhaust that was droning like hell on the freeway) to an exit. It was beautiful.

This thread makes me laugh. I let my girl drive my car all the time. This is only because she's been driving a 2000 Prelude and its a manual. She texted me the other day and asked if I would trade cars with her. LOL

In the first vid the girl does not hold the stick right. She is holding it like a fighter pilot would (or maybe she thinks it is something else...)
Correct shifting technique: YouTube - Japan Racing

Both cars are amazing in that clip ^^
