YEAH!!!!!
Just teach her to drive stick in the meantime. Getting enough competence to cruise in a straight line even at very high speeds isn't terribly difficult. You've got plenty of time before your ED trip.

And yes, thank God you got to keep 6MT. I think it a bit unreasonable of your wife to expect you to switch the transmission on a car you'll own for years just so she can drive it a couple times during ED. I would have said, "Fine, we'll rent an M5 over there that you can drive on the autobahn," since you actually can do that over there.
