I drove a Japanese car with a stick for a year when I was stationed in the ROK. Steering wheel on the right and shifter on the left. They still drove on the right side of the road. What a hoot! I got used to it real fast though.

Both daughters had to learn to drive stick, both did not want to learn, but told them that some day one of their boyfriends would get drunk and you would have to drive, and if they had a stick you should be ready. After learning, both would rather drive a stick, especially in the country. Oldest daughters first car was actually a Volvo 240 GT. yes, they actually made a 2dr sport Volvo 240. She ended up crashing it in a snow storm but that is another story.

I had an 04 Neon SRT4, very fun 2.4L turbocharged 5 spd. When I was dating, my now wife, she much rather preferred to drive it than her 99 Accord, auto.
We've been married for 10 years, unfortunately that toy had to go when we had babies. Great memories, tho.

I had a 98 Neon 2 Door R/T with the DOHC/ 5 speed with low miles and every option available except the sunroof (I don't like nor feel safe with sunroofs)
I loaned it to a friend. She rear ended a truck with it and destroyed it in Denver.
That is the first and only time I ever loaned a vehicle out. Since then, if someone asks, the answer is not only NO but *&$#% NO!!!
I will never make that mistake again. After the Neon left the building, I had my first 74 duster and never went back to "newer" cars.

Reminds me of the days I used to run full size mopar vans. I never had the doghouse on in the summer in any of them. I had a extended mid 70's van, small block with a column 3 speed, gave a ride to a nurse home one night.. she was terrified seeing the road a few inches from her feet. It was a good 20 minute ride... by the end of it she was fascinated, asking me all kinds of questions on how that all works. "What does that thing do?" She got schooled a bit, and she was having fun. Kept asking me questions at work after that, lol.

My daily is a 5 speed WRX. The race car is an auto tho...
Back in the day i drove a Toyota crawler as my daily. I hab some parts on the passenger seat for some reason, cant remember now. Had a date that night with a solid 9. I pick her up in the yota and she looks at it like its a dumpster fire.... now understand i probably had 30+ grand into that truck.... she gets in wearing a white lace dress. Im talking the kind of dress that dads wont allow.... not something you can just wash......
She climbs out at the restaurant and i noticed a big black stain down the back of that dress that looks like one of grandma's hand knitted doilys...
Yeah i didn't say a word.... their was some screaming in the morning when she picked it up off my floor and noticed the stain..
Never did call me back???

No, we just had a slumber party.
The point i was making in a roundabout way was that i can understand someone not wanting to sit in a old dirty car in fancy clothes.
Not to say rainy car has dirty seats.

No sex? Really? You need some advice on how to close the deal on your next date?

High quality Business formal is supposed to be very Durable which is why they cost. The material is intended to be at work day in and day out and get coffee, dust, ink, sweat, lunch food and whatever else happens to get on it. You can get the jacket and skirt (or pants) for like $175. - 2 Hundo. the undershirt is usually just a cheapie and replaceable (you should carry a spare) When you pay that much for clothes, they better be a high caliber quality and take an *** whooping or else what is the point. I have worked on my car on the side of the road on the way home from work and got dirty and sweaty and the clothes cleaned up like new.
So I don't understand why she was afraid of a seat re-covered with duct tape. I mean, if you slap the seat, dust might come out but if you sit on it, it will be fine and her clothes should yawn at a little dust. IMO
It should be an honor to sit on a coveted, original duster bucket seat. They are not cheap nor falling out of trees anymore.

A fox for sure ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Duct tape usually ends up getting the tape glue on clothes after a while.
Stupidity is it's own reward. You don't have to do a thing. All my friends had high dollar cars, Lexus, Mercedes, BMW. I still drive my 50+ year old cars and mow my lawn with a 40 year old lawn mower. I was never, and am still not, impressed by their cars. When you have the best, everything else is so so. When I was working, I'd have pictures of my cars, bicycles, farm and lake house as a slide show for my screensaver. Good to know what you are working for. I got to meet a lot of interesting people, none like your "friend". I'd have said, no problem, I guess you'll have to find someone else to give you a ride. You will still be enjoying the Duster long after their cars are gone.

Just apply a little throttle , em-bare-*** them in their hi dollar car !
I've had them admit that "American cars make great power, but they don't handle well." How else can the high dollar imports sell cars. I let his wife drive the 66 Formula S, and the search was on for a different car for her.
