Her first driving lesson

Well folks, it finally happened.. Whitno had her first on the road driving lesson with the driving instructor. Another girl was in the car with them and she too drove. This seems to be a nice driving school as all of their vehicles are ford mustangs with the exception of one pickup truck. She "really" liked driving the mustang (duh!!) and after our terrifying drive last weekend in my stick shift pontiac, I am seriously thinking of selling the Vibe and buying a used car that has an automatic transmission. I don't feel she, or anyone else for that matter, is safe in the vibe and feel she would do better with an automatic.
 
Am I just being soft and letting her get her way? I mean almost every single person I know learned how to drive using a stick shift, including every member of my family. In a way I feel like I'm "giving in". I just want her to be as safe as possible. oy.. parenthood stinks sometimes..
