My mother bought me my first car for my 18th birthday, unveiled it in my driveway after birthday dinner. I noticed it was stick, growled at her that I didn’t know how to DRIVE stick… she said “Then I guess you aren’t driving it to school tomorrow.” She went in the house, left me with the keys, and I learned it on my own around my neighborhood.
