haha it's kind of the opposite situation for me, my mom lived in Europe for a long time and she knows how to drive stick, dad on the other hand has stalled and rearended people in Europe during vacation time. I told him i'd teach him stick in a parking lot first before we hit the real roads :].
The wait's going to be a little over 1 month for me, I'm not too worried though just living life as if I didn't get the car...so when it's here I'll have a nice "surprise" waiting for me
