Funny about being unable to drive a stick. Our daughter is an industrial electrician. During her apprenticeship she came home and announced she was driving the 5 ton boom truck "because she was the only one on the crew who could drive a stick"
.She has taught her husband how to drive one as well. Her mother taught her , not me I don,t have the patience.
All 3 of our kids had accidents in the first 3 yrs of driving their own cars. None of the accidents were judged their fault, but I think a more experienced driver might have avoided at least one or two of them.
I wouldn,t give her a performance car no matter how good /reliable she is. The boyfriends will either be intimidated by her better car or want to drive it.
A 4 cyl regular cab pick up like a Ranger (no room for passengers and a full frame ) or an underpowered car like a Prius would be my choice. NOT something cool like a Jeep, Z car etc.
