[Re: Teaching someone to drive a stick in your car ]

[mkii_84@yahoo.com (Andrew Wong)]

I learned stick in my current 84 Scirocco.  I was
taught the same way also and I learned quickely too,
but not quick enough to drive that 5spd Eurovan since
it broke down and we had to sell it before I could
even drive it.  I guess I wanted to learn stick
quickly b/c of that Eurovan.  Stupid timming belt why
did it have to break
