- Since we don't live forever and since my daughters (20 and 22) want to eventually drive my BJ8 they need to learn how to shift on a rental car. I have no idea what is out there for rent but thought m

- I think that you are going to have a hard time finding a rental car with a manual transmission. More than likely you are going to have to borrow a car to teach them in. If you can find someone who is

- I'm planning to teach my son (Grant, now 14 yrs) to drive in my BJ8. My fondest hope is that he'll take his driving test in my Healey ... can you imagine the look on the DMV guy's face? :) bs ** Bob

- I can understand that not everyone will want to do this, but I taught both my kids to drive the Healey when they reached 18. In the Healey. I didn't have another stick shift car but I don't think I w

- I second that. I taught myself how to drive a manual transmission on my Healey. My dad passed away when I was 20 (I'm 29 now) and with no other cars available I finally got the nerve to just give it
