I love to drive manual transmissions, and taught my kids how to drive them.

My last stick car (I'm between cars right now) was a WRX STi. I was teaching my son how to drive it when he made an unfortunate 3rd-gear-to-2nd (while looking for 4th). It was quite an experience.

Luckily, no damage done to car or people. Just a great story for telling later.
