Stick shift. One of his teenage sons was sort of trying to learn to
drive it and the other wasn't even learning to drive! The normal thing
to do would be to give the car to his son, but neither could handle it.


Times have changed. When we were in our early teens we were driving
with dad in the parking lot and could not wait until we were 16. My
brother turned 16 on a Thursday and passed his test on Saturday. I was
about 2 weeks after my birthday taking mine.

Now, having the latest cell phone is more important than cars and
driving. Stick shift? Nah, they can't do it.
