Will Stewart asked the ImSaturn for first-time stick-driving memories. We loved reading your comments! The great feedback gave us an idea- what if we taught one of our own team members how to drive a stick. That's where Lish and Saturn's Greg Creason come in.
Last week a very brave Greg agreed to teach Lish how to drive a stick shift at Pioneer High School in Ann Arbor, Mich. We captu…
