I taught a college roommate of mine to drive stick on my MINI Cooper S to the point where he was mostly proficient. Fast-forward a few months, and he wants to go test-drive the re-designed Eclipse that had just come out. He tells the salesman that he knows how to drive stick, but the salesman doesnt and consequently doesn't realize how sub-par my roommate--and doesn't call off the test drive! Anyways, we head out on the roads, and turn onto a feeder to the freeway. My friend decides to row through the gears, redlining each one: 1st gear, 6500 rpm, shift to 2nd, 6500 rpm, shift to 3rd....except he totally missed 3rd and slammed the car into 1st. Since he wasn't experienced with stick he didnt feel it, and still dumped the clutch. The salesman, not knowing how to drive stick, didnt realize how royally my friend fucked up...so we just casually turned around and made it back to the dealership. We made a hasty getaway after telling the salesman that "the engine feels funny in that one, i think you should have it checked."
