She forgot to mention that these past 2 weeks were when she learned to drive stick from a person who doesn't drive stick.
Conveyed to her my mechanical understanding as best I could, and she learned to drive through this whole mess.
She's got some serious strength of character in there. Learning that is hard enough for most people. Her having to learn under that kind of duress, mixing the expected stalls in with the unexpected breakdowns.. I'm just saying, she's awesome.
