Default gf vs s2k

My girlfriend ask me to teach her how to drive a manual. I taught people how to drive before in the s2000 before. so why not. She goes to start to the car and adjust herself and i told her that i'll back it out of the driveway for her but she wanted to do it; so i let her.

She backs out of the garage and i think to myself that everything is gonna be ...as soon as we're on the sloop we start sliding back and i told her to hit the brakes; But she couldn't find it?? we slide down the driveway and she would hit the gas and clutch at random times. That somehow made us go up my neighbors driveway across the street at a good speed and it scrape my rear bumper on their tree and smash into their trash can. good thing it didnt go through the garage.

I drove after that. We went to a open spot. she drove around the parking lot going no more than second gear. Stopped a couple times and went again. But then she couldnt take off anymore and would stall it. She stalled it about 10 all together and then i took over after that. During the stall fiesta, she turned on the car and held the button for a good couple seconds.

so much went wrong.

We went to eat after that and took a walk. I had faith in her so we went to another spot to drive. yet again, she couldnt get to the car moving at all. Stalled 5 times and just gave up. we're both hearing a weird noise from the motor as i was driving back home. It sounds like a light vibration noise. The noise disappears when the vehicle is not moving. When i got home i was trying to listen to where the noise was coming from while pulling the throttle cable. Its coming from the motor.

Do you guys think this noise happened from stalling so many times in a row and turning it on for too long? or maybe it was there before and i just notice now and start worrying? my girlfriend and i both dont know whats going on. I hope there isnt any major damage.

Sorry for the long story.

yeah thats why i wasnt mad at her that much about the bumper. It was my fault also for not pulling it. I was telling her to hit the brakes. She drives too by the way. She has her own car. Which is in the shop for an accident. So then she has the rental. And she got in an accident with that too.

well those accidents were not her fault. The second one was kinda just weird to explain. Some guy backed up into her because he cross the line at the stop light and he had a huge truck and a trailer in the back or something. i was not there. And when it turned green he speed up and she caught up on the other lane next to him to catch his attention, but he slowed down and she kept going. She couldnt slow down because of the cars around or the situation was weird. i dont understand when she tells me the story. He slowed down and turn and she lost him. he drove too slow for her to catch up?

she wanted to back out of the driveway. i told her that i wanted to do it but she really wanted to do it. She wanted no help; she has tried learning once before when i had my SH.
