It depends on the parents and how they raise their kids. I've known some pretty "ballsy" (for lack of a better word) females who drive like today is their last day on earth. But there weren't many. The same for guys. I know some who have never touched the floor with their right foot. Again, not many.

I know my daughter, at two, is already showing signs of being a motor-head. Just yesterday she asked her Mum if they could 'ride in red car'. She's frantic when she hears a motorbike go by. Screaming 'MOTORBIKE DADDY! MOTORBIKE!'. She was on her back next to her uncle Carmen, watching him fix the 'boys' quad. 'You doing?'

If you raise your daughter to be more delicate than wet paper towel, then I'm sure she'll be unable to handle anything more than a smart car. Personally, I don't want to have to change her oil for the rest of my life.

I thought the Turbo coupe was more of a Chick car anyway. The big car lots of room for kids and food. Then you hae that power seat that can smash you into the Windshield. I love mine either way. So if a chick wants to drive a turbo coupe LET HER! I do believe that Cindy Lauper Said it best " Girls Just Wanna Have FUN! So let them have there fun. Maybe just maybe she'll take you out for a RIDE! LOL I'd let the wife drive mine but with so much work into it I don't want it to be her fualt that is broke so she doesn't have a key to it. She drives like a madcrazy woman any how.

PS. oldraven I can see the look the the youngins eye's She's ready to go for a tire burning camaro eating trip to the gas station.

LMFAO, you guys are great and trust me you're around the wrong car forum to say "chicks can't drive"! If that's your attitude you can kiss my cute little ass!

Now that the initial bite me is done with think before you speak. My cars consist of an 88 TC 5 speed which I enjoy beating the out of, don't believe me check my head gasket post, 25+ psi thank you and I tore it down and fixed it when it blew up. Did I lose control and throw it in a ditch, nope, I calmly pulled over and took pics going "that was awesome!" I learned to drive stick in an 87 TC, never drove stick, just bought the car, had my MOM drive it home and took it out to learn one morning. Within a week I had the gas pedal get stuck on the floor and did I crash it, nope, shut it off, threw it in neutral and clamly pulled in to a parking lot. I know GUYS that have crashed automatic cars when that happened.

Next up we have my 87 Sport. It was a nice lil aod car until my friend helped me put a T5 in it. When I left in the morning I shifted it so nice his dad thought it was one of his other buddies that drives high power big block trucks.

And then there's my 84 SVO... guess what 2.3 turbo 5 SPEED. Notice a trend here?

Last but not least for cars is a 79 Ranchero, huh an old carburated car *gasp* whatever will I do! Drive it, what else. No five speed, but I do plan on a turbo 300 I6 swap in to it.

Now that covers the cars, I also have an 05 Kawasaki Ninja 500 and an 89 Yamaha YSR50. If 5 speed cars are bad then bikes have to be even worse, right? I may have crashed the ninja but what I found out when I pulled it apart to adjust some things was that the dealership I bought it from screwed up and the forks were more than 1/2" off of level, not good!

And guess what, not only can I drive, guess what I do for a living... I restore and build custom cars! I have multiple welding certifications including an Aerospace TIG certification.

Was I raised on cars, hell no! My sport was my first car, My parents wanted to buy me a neon. I earned credit at a speed shop and was taught by an old hot rodder and some freinds I've made along the way. If a girl wants to learn, trust me, there are guys that will teach her.

Tomorrow I'm going circle track racing at Angola Speedway, I guess I'll have to post pics as evidence that a girl can drive.

FYI, I'm welding Titanium in the pic:

i wasnt mis quoted i added the around here so i wouldnt seem like i was generalizing. i never ment by the plus its a stick comment that girls cant drive sticks, BUT i ment as a first car for ANYONE thats a TEENAGER, why would you look at a moddifide standard turbo coupe. that was IT, nothing shagist, nothing saying that they couldnt handle it, but why give someone the power they dont really need?

My first car was almost a turbo coupe, but that one in particular was a POS and I found the sport first. It's a 190 hp rwd car, that's not a fast car, sorry and you should know that if your interests include "making things go fast". If I hadn't gotten the sport it would have been another t-bird or a mustang (only decent cars I could talk my parents in to).

And btw, having a car that can get out of its own way is not a bad thing, sometimes it's the ability to stomp on the pedal and get out of the way that saves your ass, again something you would know if you had more driving experience.

Can all girls drive, NO. can all guys drive, NO. Should all people own fast cars, HELL NO! but if your a parent and willing to buy a decntly fun car for your kid, you obviously have a little bit of respect for them and that's great, get them the fun car, trust me, thay'll thank you for it later.

I will have kids some day, I will have a girl, and I'll make her as much if not more of a hellion in a car then me, can you say junior dragsters?!

And yes, same goes for any boys

Lol I never said they can't drive a stick. Hell, I have a few girl friends who know how and are like I need to teach you how to drive a 5 speed blah blah blah...

Also I didn't know your daughter was 19 and that it wouldn't be her first car. I was basing my equation or girl + horsepower = bad off of my experience of 16 year old crashes Audi into a ditch because she was showing off and lost control. Hell, even if I had a son, there's still probably no way I'd start him off in anything with more than say 150whp. I know If my first car was the T/A I'd have probably gotten a lot of tickets. Either way, I suppose ultimately you are right, because I don't have a daughter and I don't know what it'd be like.

Actually, I wish we had a stick shift so my kids could learn to dive that first. I didn't learn to drive one till I was about 23. The only problem I ever had and still have with them, is sitting on an upward hill, but, I was getting better at it before we got rid of the Aspire.

I have 2 nieces and 2 nephews who had to learn to drive stick before they could get their licenses. All of them had stick shifts for their first cars too.
It's good for everyone to know how to drive one. That way you can pretty much drive anything you may need to.
