Stick, you've got 165K miles on your original clutch? What % of that would you say is highway miles? Holy crap.
I tried to get my son (who IS a car guy) to learn how to drive stick just before he went to school as well. Sadly, it wasn't a priority for him and we never did it. Years ago, before he got his permit, we practiced very low speed stuff in a parking lot and he got a kick out of that, but once he got his license he saw the whole "clutch-shift-clutch-shift" thing as more of a nuisance. I was hoping that once he got on the road he'd see the beauty of it all (coupled with some nice 3rd gear acceleration for grins).
He'll come around....even if I have to beat it out of him.
