Somethings change and others don't.  My girlfriend taught me how to drive a 
stick on her '68 Camaro after my dad nearly had a breakdown trying to teach 
me on his '64 Mercury Comet.  (The Comet had a 3-speed in an H pattern on the 
column and a very loose clutch.)  I don't think it was so much her patience 
as my need not to embarrass myself in front of her.

I learn on a steel mill parking lot and not a church parking lot because in 
1970 Coatesville, PA, there were a lot more steel mill parking spaces than 
there were church parking spaces.  That has changed too.
