She will be driving her mother's Prius and I heard rumor of Grandpa
donating a 10 YO audi (VW content) into the mix. She has to learn on my 5
speed VW Explorer because... other than the aforementioned Chevy truck,
that's what I gots. And while I love driving that truck, you don't learn to
drive on it.

Thanks for the tips. It still annoys me when they change things because
they can and for no other reason.
