    My grandfather had a rule for his kids, and my mom passed it down to me.

    You can’t have a license until you can:

    • Check and fill all the vehicle fluids
    • Perform an oil change
    • Change a tire
    • Drive a manual transmission
    • Change belts and hoses

    I learned on a stick. I even did some learning on my uncle’s beetle with a broken clutch (they were reasonably optional on the OG Bug). And I have not been behind of the wheel of one since. Still glad I learned all that stuff.
