LIVE

My father and I used to go to the gym every morning together.

And one day we're working out, and I said,

Dad, when we get home, will you teach me

how to drive stick on the NSX?

And you heard all the weights in the room drop.

And one guy looks over and goes,

John DeLorean's daughter doesn't know

how to drive a stick shift.

My dad packed up all of his stuff

and said, come on, we're going.

And he took me home.

I got behind the wheel of that car.

I didn't stall it once.

I didn't drop it when I just drove it.

And I was like, we should go back

and tell that guy I already knew how to drive stick.

In our final preview leading up to the full episode with Kat DeLorean, she tells us about the time that everyone in the gym froze when she mentioned that she did not know how to drive a stick shift. But John DeLorean couldn’t let this continue, so he drags her home and gave her the keys to his manual Acura NSX. Unsurprisingly she drove that NSX like a pro the first time and thereafter because of the "gasoline in her veins."
