IMHO :-), As dear friends, you should make sure son #2 is taught how to
drive a stick to perfection, and make sure they buy a car with a manual
transmission.

I can't imagine being pigeonholed at 16ish as too lacking to drive a stick,
and going through the rest of my life in automatic transmissions.  Shudder.

You must rise to the occasion!  BTW, parents make the worst teachers when it
comes to manual transmissions.  Don't take her word for it :-)  This is your
chance to make a difference!
