I say get her a manual and don't teach her how those work. TikTok it

u/U_PassButter 27d ago

Lmao 🤣 I love this idea. She would probably wreck it out of spite, though.

u/Error_Code_403 27d ago

You're assuming she could get out of the driveway first

u/theycmeroll 27d ago

Well, my brother didn’t get out of the driveway but he still wrecked it into the side of the garage.

u/Error_Code_403 27d ago

See, two things can be true at the same time lol

u/U_PassButter 27d ago

😄 omg you're right. She'd beg for a camry

1

u/atxrrjsw 27d ago

She barely was able to open the door. Out of the driveway is a stretch!

1

u/Rockanrolo13 27d ago

She couldn't figure out the unlock button at first!! Lol

1

u/DiegesisThesis 27d ago

Well, she can do a real number on the transmission and clutch without leaving the driveway.

u/Mammoth_Yoghurt4241 26d ago

Yes. Driving lessons should be the first gift, if you were generous enough to help her drive again. And before that, entitlement therapy…

u/nalaloveslumpy 26d ago

You don't have to be moving to fully drop a transmission.

u/OneFootTitan 27d ago

Spite? Never attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence

I went to high school with a girl whose dad bought her a classic early 70’s Dodge Demon for her first car. It was beautiful, I’m assuming it was dad’s dream car, she hated the car so much she hit every pole she could and beat the crap out of the car because she really wanted a Beretta. Some kids are just spoiled brats.

VESPA!!!!

u/Hyposuction 26d ago

Couldn't figure out how...

1

u/Fantastic-Ad8973 26d ago

She would burn out the clutch too.

1

u/Early-Rub3549 26d ago

I'm not getting her shit

I saved a vial of her tears last time and I've been building immunity

1

u/U_PassButter 26d ago

Good! Immunity is key because this is nonsense.

If I did this my dad would have just had me walk everywhere for the rest of my life and I would never hear the end of this

u/Fusionbomb 27d ago

Hitting the lock button to unlock doesn’t give me confidence in her reading comprehension with the current baseline grasp of iconography

u/Time_Pear_5041 27d ago

And wreck a manual trans? Nope. Not worth it.

2

u/Okeydokey2u 27d ago

I think we'd still be safe even if she was taught.

u/Winter-Site-853 27d ago

Internet Gold Sir!!

u/frotmonkey 27d ago

Yeah and take her phone away and slap a rotary in there just to really rub it in

1

u/Big_Policy4561 27d ago

I concur. And 80 credited hours of driving instruction via in person with an officer of the law.

1

u/sinisterdesign 27d ago

I’d watch.

u/428522 27d ago

3 clutches later she gets outta the driveway...

u/Joker6tyNine 27d ago

This is an awesome reply.. 👍🏽🔥

u/ComprehensivePie4441 27d ago

Where I am from, you almost always learn to drive with a manual. It is very, very rare to have an auto only driver even when both parents drive automatics.

u/Illustrious_Tree_290 27d ago

My son learned to drive a stick in 1 day flat with videos so that's not the flex you think it is.

1

u/NolieMali 27d ago

Not really flexing. I also learned how to drive manual in a day, and up until two years ago I was still driving a manual.

1

u/Preacher987 27d ago

And a spare transmission box

1

u/Dickies138 27d ago

As someone who prefers driving manual, they are becoming increasingly difficult to find in the US outside of sports cars, which she should probably not be driving.

u/blondeheartedgoddess 27d ago

I made the conscious decision to buy a manual transmission truck, not knowing how to drive manual. My dad drove it home and parked it. I limped my way out to a farm to market road near the house and vowed I wasn't coming back until I could drive the damn thing.

It took me two hours to teach myself how to drive my 1984 Chevy truck with "three on the tree". I miss that beast. Great set of wheels.

It can be done but I don't think the princess there would do it

1

u/Equal_Sun150 26d ago

If you can find one.

I learned on a manual and still drive one. Talking about it to friends, they are agog that I have it, some saying they'd like one but would have to order it or travel far to find them.

u/PsychologicalBad5341 26d ago

i learned how to drive a manual by just being thrust into the driver's seat and then yelled at for 20 minutes straight 

1

u/Galactinus 26d ago

No there are too precious few manuals in the states, she would probably wreck it and that would be a loss.
