I am happy its you in the vehicle with her and not me. Does she look at her feet in a car with an automatic transmission? LoL
No, no... She's not a good driver in an automatic, but she doesn't watch her feet. Instead, she watches like the radio, the infotainment, the buttons on the steering wheel, etc...
But, she drives slow, which is probably what saves her from bumping into stuff. Like, she'll happily cruise at 35 mph into the village. Parts of the road are 50 mph zones and a few spots are safe for 135!
So, I've got some work ahead of me. She has class tomorrow morning. She'll be driving the Defender she normally drives.
So you're eschewing the manual vehicle for a day to teach her to drive better overall before you add the shifting?
I'm not getting out of bed to drive with her to Farmington and then hanging around all day doing nothing only to wait for her to drive home...
So, she can go back to an automatic 'cause she sure as shit not ready to do it in a manual. There's a lot of downshifting and mountain terrain between here and there.
We'll resume her lessons on Friday afternoon as there's no show for her this weekend.
