Time with my boys is always well spent.
At least you're taking the time to teach them to drive stick. I learned stick shift at 14 off youtube, I got practice in when my parents left the house. When I got my permit at 15 and a half, my Dad took me to a parking lot to "teach" me. He was quite surprised to say the least.
Some of my best memories as a boy was sitting on my dad's lap - steering his 53' Buick Supreme down the back roads of Florida.
These are bonding times that will stay with them all through their lives.
I did laugh when you said something about staying out of the mud....LOL!!
