Just thought I'd share with you all: We are breaking in a new driver around here. Number two for us. My daughter will get her license this year and so it was time a few months back to teach her to drive a 'stick'. There is no better manual transmission to learn on than an old truck as I told her, if you can drive this truck, there is not a modern manual transmission that you can't handle. We think that driving a manual will make them more attentive drivers (certainly makes it more difficult to mess with a cell phone).
It was an hour well spent with a little burnt rubber, mild whip-lash, and hopefully some good memories.
