Everyone pray for my cars safety

My parents anniversary is tonight and my dad is taking my mom out to eat in my car. He has driven manual cars before but not in a long time. Dear god let him get it home in one piece.....

RWD is seriously NOT as hard to drive as so many people on this forum make it out to be. It'll be fine.

He'll be fine as long as he doesn't try to show off. Which he likes to do every moment he gets.

I'm sure your dad will be fine. Your mom is probably going to be sick from him going sideways in the corners!

I let my mom drive my FR-S every once and a while even though it's really pretty low. She has a lease and needs to keep the miles off of it but I really know she just likes to take the on/off ramps quickly! Let's just say I trust her driving.

However she just sold her 73' MGB and I'm sure the FR-S a much easier manual to operate.
