Nope, not crazy at all. I personally think everyone should learn to drive in a manual. If you can drive a car with a manual transmission, you can drive virtually anything on the road.
There’s been more than once I was the only one available when the car “owner” (read person who borrowed Dad’s car) ended up not sober enough to drive, and I had to be the safe one. I know, I know, we were all under drinking age, but I was the sober one. Had I not been able to drive a standard, we would have had to call for help…landing us all in trouble.
Teach her. She’ll thank you later.
