If nothing else, it'll help her build leg strength

Why not convert her civic to a manual?

See I dont even see what the big deal is. It's not like i dont know how to drive a manual, I'm just not all that comfortable with it, I'm still nervous driving one so I tend to forget some things, like pushing in the clutch while im breaking! lol And I dont really stall out anymore like I used to! So he really just needs to give in on this one and give me what I want! haha

see krystal, what you need to do is DD a manual for about a week; it seems to take most people about a week to get completely comfortable with a manual. By the end of the week, you'll probably be shifting without thinking about it, and using the clutch will be second nature.

But kev's 6-puck clutch would probably be more frustrating for you than anything. I know the higher torque capacity clutches are stiffer, and I'm thinking the friction zone is smaller.

Well thats what Im hoping for is to be able to just drive it like its second nature! So we'll see if I ever get the chance to!
I dont know much about cars so I dont really know what you mean about his clutch, but I know Kev would let me drive it if it wasnt such a special" clucth!!! lol
