Father's Day is just a couple months away, so I hope Henry remembers what a great dad you are.

Nice video! Reminds me of my dad teaching me to drive a stick in his BMW 530i many moons ago.

Manual for the win, great job Dad, he will remember this.
My son learned in our VW R32 at the time and we eventually handed it down, he only just recently sold it after having it as a track car for years. You plan on handing the Targa down?

You’re are really good dad Texascarlover, but maybe just a touch “old-guy” naggy. If you really want Henry to pay rapt attention, get a hot 18-year-old girl to explain the finer points of being a smooth operator.

That's awesome. You're a much nicer dad than mine.

True story - shortly after I got my license (in 1987) my dad took me to a car dealer, bought me a 1982 Plymouth Champ stick shift. He got in his car, rolled the window down and said he'd see me at home and if I wanted the car I'd figure out how to it get home.

And you did just fine obviously. Perhaps would have done similar but didn't want to with MY Targa! LOL!

Hell no. I'm 100% sure that the clutch in your Targa is more expensive than the entire Champ was!!
