Tell her congratulations! Took me 2 tries as well, same with getting my license haha. My scary thing with a permit was when I was in my moms car and took a turn to sharp near a wall.... Scratched the side up pretty good

about a year ago she wouldn't drive my truck because it is standard. than after I told her she gets it when I get another truck she decided to learn how to drive a standard. also the only thing around here with an auto is my wife's suburban and my '95 powerstroke project truck.

Ya my truck is an automatic 88 F150 4x4. I learned standard on our now ranch truck 1989 F250 4x4. I was working on it and got it started when my foot slipped off the clutch and the truck was in 1st. I ended up having to drive it after it almost took out my car. I was able to drive it for 15 minutes before it died because it was out of gas but it was one smooth running truck. I then later learned better off a 1993 Ford F250 4x4 460 V8. I learned auto matic off my dad's 1986 F150. I have been told by my dad I drive standard better then auto but I keep ending up with auto trucks.

It is easy cheesy. I learned in a day. Nothing to it. I learned in a 1995 F150 inline 6 with a 5 speed. My first truck. What a big pile of rust.

thats why i like it! its different then what Ford had ever come up with. its almost like a luxurious hauler. id want it just cause not many other people would have it, i hate having the same vehicle like everyone else, thats why i love driving my tempest or my truck, cause i stand out... i guess i just like the attention 
but i would want this and i definitly want the new stingray concept! WOW that car makes me dream everytime i see it
