Haha. I taught her how to drive stick. It was rough. Thankfully we only needed enough lessons to get us out of an emergency we didn't need to get her all the way to proficient.

I tried to teach stick twice , then recruited brother to teach her , problem solved .
I’d add if you decide to degrease engine casings in the dishwasher and she says she’ll be gone for 6 hrs . Make sure she stays gone the 6 hrs……

I taught mine was easy it was her car she had already bought and needed to learn. She already had a bike so was straight forward.
Tried to teach my wife on the Genesis 3.8....ended in tears and her getting out of the car and not getting back in. Si was easier, but after 5km she said 'eff this'...the WRX I didn't even bother.
We now have 2 automatics.

Find yourself a non-North American wife.
Everyone outside of North America knows how to drive stick.
That way you can fill your garage full of fun cars.

I wonder how long that will last. I am assuming europe is quickly transitioning to automatics of some form to hit fuel efficiency targets. Poorer countries probably don't have that luxury and will use stick as the default for many more years.
It may be better if she can't drive the fun toys.

Yeah, well... thankfully, that's not my reality.
Wife has her own toys, and normally asks, "What's our next fun toy?" instead of, "WTF? Another one?!?!"
And further to the joke posted with the flowers and Akropovic, getting her fun bike parts brings joy for much longer than some stupid flowers.
In fact I did teach her using the brand new tranny in the only new vehicle we,ve ever owned (1986 ford ranger). It was a little painful sitting there watching her thrash it while using every fibre of my being not to look up set. For the record both my kids passed their drivers test in a manual. (it was the only car we owned at the time)
I leased a stick shift one time. A month before I was going to turn the car in, I gave all my friends driving lessons on it.
The finance person was begging me to buy the vehicle out. It's next to impossible to sell MT cars these days.

Tell that to my Polish born wife….I’ll wait here on the other side of the road.
That's brand dependent. Vw/subaru are a pretty easy sell. Many other brands, row it yourself may as well be infested with bedbugs.
True dat. Boy racer models will never give up their sticks.

Wife drives std , but last car she went auto , urban driving is too painful these days .
I think stick has its place in sports cars , because it’s fun in occasional use . You can always sell a 911 or boxer with a stick , it’s tradition .
Meanwhile in Tahiti , it’s France with palm trees , you should be eating like a champ Evo . Great restaurants. Weirdly I think I had the best pizza of my life in Tahiti, and yes I’ve been all over Italy .
