do you let your passengers shift for you??

how many of you manual drivers out there let the passenger shift the gears for you. I let my girl do it when i am on the cell phone, she says she enjoys it cuz it builds a bond between me and her, all i care about is that she doesn't shift in to second when she supposed to shift in to 4th.

There's only one knob that my girlfriend should be playing with and it's not the one that changes gears.

That's one good way to screw up your car. You shouldn't be using the cell phone while anyway.

I let my wife adjust her side of the temperature control and turn on her seat heater and that's IT! She doesn't even get to lock or unlock her door.

My bonds are already well built, so I guess I don't need to have her shift for me.

Anyways, she already gets all the shift knob she can handle...

Does your car have 2 knobs to shift? Not mine, why should she be getting any more?

Doesn't that tend to bring things to a halt?
