Hey, that's why I suggested an RX-300. :o My last post was kind of tounge-in-cheek. Put the back seat down and there's lot's of room! :D :D ;)

That is a great choice in vehicles but I suggest the 330 as we all know the 3slow is not the best engine Toyo has produced. :rolleyes:

and yet it's usually teen age boys that are in the major accidents all the time

Did you miss the part where I mentioned "boyfriends" being a problem? Face it....girls seem to multi-task better but sometimes they prioritize the wrong task. Guys tend to be macho and aggresive and that gets them in deep pooh all the damn time! :blah: Moral of the story.....be smart....do the animal thing and eat your young when they are still sweet! :eek: :lmao:

The only reason I think teenagers *should* know how to drive stick is if she/he is parting and they are the only one sober and they can't drive a stick they might be willing to let someone else drive because they don't know how or can't. I guess all this is mute when you have great parents that'll come pick you up at 2am :D

Otherwise I'll be conferring with UB and Romer if I'm lucky enough to have 2 girls :D :thumb:

Father Wisdom will now speak

Being a VERY educated father in the ways of raising 2 daughters I must say that teaching your daughters to drive a stick is a MUST. Most of their friends will be amazed and astounded that they can drive a stick shift....it will even impress the guys which may be a good or bad thing :rolleyes: .
Bottom line.....MAKE them drive a stick for a period of time.
My daughters, now 18 and 23, both rate learning to drive a stick as a highlight!

I totally agree with the learning to drive a stick theory! Both my driving daughters have had private drivers ed lessons with a 5 speed stick. {My brother out-law (my brothers ex-wifes husband :hill: ) does drivers ed both car and CDL and if anyone is interested he's really great at it! ;) } Raising kids is (and will be) an ever changing challenge! Just when you thought you have heard/seen it all they have another birthday! :eek: :blah:

No doubt she will be learning to drive the stick. I am dealing with Mrs. Romers rule that the car she has be an automatic. Logic and Mom's rules don't always go together.

My Mother-In-Law had two girls and a son. She told her girls: "Real women drink beer and can drive a stick shift." And both her girls do both. I married the younger one.
