Heh. Incapable of learning. If they cannot learn, should they be driving at all? One of my friends says that she could not get her permit because she gets test anxiety.

I am glad that she is not on the road.

My mom used to enjoy driving my Prelude, but she has arthritis. My dad bought the automatic Focus SFE for its 5% improved mileage (for about five percent more money).

I bought my first automatic simply because I could not find a good manual.

It is not an ideal world.
