My dad tried to teach me to drive stick -- on the MGA. No synchromesh between first and second. Needless to say, that didn't last long; it was too hard on his nerves to continue. Learned to drive stick later on that Honda civic hatchback, which was my own car.
Re car colors -- my sis's Mini is that eye-blinding blue. With the boot stripe. It's not a bad color. They're thinking of getting a Fit -- and, I'm sorry to say, considering getting it in the burnt orange color, since Toby is back teaching at UVA. That's just a bit too much school spirit, IMO.
