On the first day that I was teaching my daughter to drive 5 speed in our "classic" Supra, she forgot to lift her throttle foot when she depressed the clutch and hit 2nd gear. She "caught" second in spectacular fashion. Of course, it freaked her out. She wasn't sure what the noise and the lurch was all about. I was laughing so hard it took me a few moments to compose myself so I could explain to her what had just happened (and why it was so cool).
Had to take her momma back to the scene later that night to show her what our new driver did. I was a proud dad. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) This is her 2nd gear patch. Yes, the car has a LSD!  |

Teaching my daughter to drive a few years ago in my BMW 320i, she did something similar, first gear though. Unfortunately for her, the car behind us had some pretty blue lights on top. The noise from the clutch dump didn't bother her nearly as much as the cop saying "license and registration please", especially since she didn't have hers yet. Good times indeed.
