She was around 70 when I had to convince my mother she could drive an 
automatic. She'd only been driving since 1921 and had taught her father 
how to drive. She adapted to AT, power brakes, and power steering nicely.

My first car was an automatic but I eventually replaced the tired 
Torqueflight with a manual. Easier said than done.
