maybe pour some concrete on the curb so that it will be a slope instead of a bump, so that you don't have to crawl over it...

or you can just trade me for my automatic

You wife has awesome taste in cars as well as having the courage to get a manual gearbox! She's gonna have a lot of fun with that! I think you should learn too! Trust me... you're missing out!

Good luck!

Note: I probably repeated myself a few times with my explanations above, but I wasn't sure how to explain it, so... hopefully you understand it. Oh, and I forgot to mention, always be in FIRST gear when you do this. Not second, not third... FIRST!
VERY well said! Total kudos to OP's wife for wanting to learn! OP needs to "man up" and give it a try too!

I wish my wife would have learned how to drive a stick and got the appropriate transmission for her G. I totally blame my father-in-law for not having taught any of his three kids how to drive a stick even though he knew how. He's a retard who thinks that manuals are for poor people or something.

To the haters, geez...stop being such damn elitists. It's not like she's burning up the clutch on a Ferrari.
