I'm angry at parents who use children as tools for revenge towards the other parent.

Paying child support and discovering that the money is being used to take vacations.

A parent that constantly waits to screw the other parent over instead of effectively co-parenting for the sake of the child.

Underpaid teachers. thus, Ill qualified and lazy teachers. Thus, impacting our children's futures.

Parents who don't appreciate the gift of a child, deadbeats, legs in the air lazy fat ****** of a mom.

Parents who would rather collect welfare instead of work, parents who intentionally enable and handicap their children.

Took my wife to an empty parking lot to teach her to drive the Shelby from a stop. We change places, put seat belts on, I tell her the clutch is a bit stiffer than she's used to, she doesn't get it all the way down and she grinds first gear. Lesson over.

My wife doesn't drive the GT500 or the R. She does drive Seven. I've got video. And she won't be driving the GT500 or the R.

She's been driving stick since she was 15. And also driving manual transmissions.

If she is not reasonably tall the problem is likely that she can't get the seat far enough forward to be able to fully depress the clutch without getting her chest tangled in the steering wheel.
One of the reasons I went with the automatic in my 2014 is that I was not happy with the driving position of one with a stick. I prefer a more arms out steering position and could not get there without a telescoping steering wheel, and I'm only about 5' 11" tall.

I'm 6', she's 5"3. I keep the seat close to the wheel as I like everything to be within easy reach, as well as having to move my body as little as possible to operate the car.
Before she started the car, I had her test the pedals with her feet to make sure she could reach them/depress them comfortably. She just didn't depress the clutch all the way. She's afraid she's going to do a 360 in the parking lot.
