Not only has my mom driven a stick all these years, but for the past 17 years or so, she's driven this cute, bright red Volkswagen GTI that "went like stink," as my dad used to say. (In other words, it had a souped-up engine.) The license plate said, "De Trop," which means "too fast" in French. Bear in mind that my mom is 4'11" and weighs just over 90 lbs.! [Big Grin]
