Why wouldn't you teach them to drive a stick? "Kid, you wanna drive? You gotta learn to drive a stick."

Why buy another car specifically for this? I've never understood. The realistic worst that can happen is a little extra wear on the clutch, so maybe you might have to replace it a few months earlier than you otherwise would have. And if it's a newish car and you post here, odds are pretty good you'll be long done with the car before you get there anyway. I mean, I gues if you're an absolute horrible teacher you could let you student fuck it up quick, but come on...
