Aaaaaah!

My wife just took my new MINI for a ride. She has not driven a stick in 25 years. I told her, if she could figure out how to start the car and take it out of the driveway, then have fun. Making me nervous. Nothing against my wife's driving, she is a good automatic driver, but my clutch!

Or worse... she'll love it so much I will not get it back!

Lol, sounds like you may be in trouble. Wish I could get my girlfriend to stop worrying about breaking my car long enough to learn to drive manual.

The only option I see here is that your wife will drive your Mini now. And you will drive whatever she's been driving up to now. There's no other alternative for you.

Good thing it worked out ok! If I got the wife driving stick, she might take the MINI, then when the lease is up on her Accord, I could get my JCW.


If only.

How does she like her new MINI, and what's your next car?
