Or offering to buy the wife a high ticket gift card at some posh shop  
(Gucci, Hermes, Coach etc.) and tell her she gets it as soon as she  
learns to drive a stick.

Then all this auto trans stuff goes away.

All this data on stuff going haywire is why I would never buy a used  
car with an auto trans.

Example - friend sold off her TT Coupe in fear of upcoming maintenance  
costs.

Bought a used BMW and right after the 6 months used car warranty  
expired the trans took a dump and it was $5K to get it back on the road.

Happy Gobble.
