I'm a big softy when it comes to chicks that want to drive my car.  How could you say no to that?
Other than that, no one drives my car but me.

I taught every chick in the St. John River valley to drive a stick in my car. 'Course that was my VW Rabbit in 1980. Smart ladies & fast learners those Maine-iacs up in Aroostook County.
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

Nope. The MTX-75 is easily stronger. Spider gear in the ZX-2 is weak, blows up. The ATX in a ZX-2 is tougher than the manual. The manual ZX-2 that I had was fun to drive though! God, that little car had such potential...

I would let someone learn to drive stick in my car for $20,000. Maybe $15k if I really, really liked them. Hell I would not even let someone that knew how to drive get in and drive my car.

Well, I drove your cars

Sorry the SVT is not a Teaching car, maybe the Probe. But that does remind me I was behind someone that had just bought a used Sentra R the other day and they were having trouble learning to drive a stick. At first I thought he was trying to race until I saw him stall it, then I just started to laugh.

I've taught a few people. Taught a friend of mine a few years ago in a parking lot, then on some back roads. She did fine (a bit nervous) but actually chirped the tires shifting into second (I cringed).
The biggest mistake I ever made was letting one of my coworkers drive the car because she had never driven stick on a car before. Working for a bus company, we all drove 6spd buses. She was essentially double clutching my car (which is fine, because i do it all the time)... the problem is that she was putting the gas all the way down during every shift. I swear I felt like trying to reach over and turn off the car! I'm sure that is why my clutch is chirping on hill starts at only 88k miles.
