Default Sweet Sixteen (Sister's BDay)

<center><img src="http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p312/diehlryan/IMG_0377.jpg"></center><p>My sister turned 16 last Wednesday and scored her learners permit before the sun was even up. I didn't even know she could get up that early.

Went back home yesterday to celebrate with her. My wife and I bought her a Tiffany's Keychain and a copy of my Dad's 97 Ford F150 key as a present (shes not happy about driving a pickup truck.)

As a little extra I took her out and let her drive the TT around an empty parking lot which I think she enjoyed more than the keychain. Here is a glamour shot of her in the TT.

Default Actually.. >

She did remarkably well for the first time ever driving stick.

The first start was FLAWLESS. We practiced a few 1-2 shifts and a few 2-3 shifts. Shes pretty hard on the brake and doesn't slow at all when doing a U-Turn.

She stalled only 1 time out of maybe 10 starts and also stalled another time by letting her foot of the clutch after braking to a complete stop.

I egged her on for a few pedal to the floor 2nd gear acceleration to 40mph. She was giggling the entire time.

Default Girlfriend was the same...

She did awesome with the first take-off and only stalled once or twice. She gets freaked out when it comes time to turn though... something about not know what gear to choose

To my girlfriends advantage, I had a mustang before my TT and that clutch was a workout compared to this one.
