Oh, and on a side note i felt comfortable enough teaching my girlfriend how to drive. I went it to it thinking she was gonna screw it up to be honest, i figured if she grinded gears more than twice or stalled out too often i'd end the experiment. I only assumed that because every time i tried to explain how a manual worked or the concept of gears in car she didn't really get it.
Well, sumbitch, she took to it really well. Stalled out only once and seemed to genuinely enjoy it. Her only stall came because she thought she was in neutral, she had moved the shifter and mistook the slight movement to the side when you're in gear as the movement you get in neutral, and let out the clutch. All in all it went really well, spent about 45 minutes in the parking light driving around going from 1 to 3 as that's all the room would allow and then downshifting and stopping.
