Can't remember "learning" :D That probably happened on tractors!!, But the first car was a tomato soup rust red Ford LTD. Late 60's I think. And Daddy's 72 Ford PU. Then I had use of an old Dodge Satellite olive green station wagon..well it got me to school and work :shock: What a dang UGLY car that was :lol: :lol: My folks gave me the dodge Aspen wagon when I got married,and after that and ever since I've had a pick-up.
I remember all of us neighbor kids pooling our change so we could get $2 of gas and go to the lake to swim in the summer. The one kid had a corvair..we could cram 7 of us in there :-P Those were the days :lol: |
1966 stick shift mustang and a huge cadillac! i hated it, but my dad insisted i learn how to drive a stick!! so glad i did.
|
1966 ford station wagon, with my parent's business logo on the door! Never hit anything and got my liscense on my 16th birthday.
|
It is suprising at how many young people, male and female, that no longer learn to drive a stick. I still like it!
|
I love my stick shifts too!!! I am picking up a 2002 BMW 328i that the motor is locked up that is virtually brand new still (60,000 miles) and I am putting a built Chevy V8 and a 6 speed in it to knock around town in LOL!!
It should give those new Mustangs and Vettes hell!!! Billy |
An old 1966 Volkswagen bug, handpainted red, white & blue! :lol:

A brand new 1973 Plymouth Duster in driver's training class!! After graduation and a new job I bought a used one that had been owned by someone from Florida. It was white with a blue interior and........my brother installed an AM/FM 8-track system!!!!! Boy, I sure thought I was all that and a bag of chips!!! My girlfriends and I would crank up that 8-track, listen to Elton John and sometimes cruise up and down Woodward Avenue! HOTDOG!!!

What great memories!!! We could have lived in the same hometown! We seemed to have quite an animal collection in those days: Three Dog Night, The Beatles, The Monkeys, The Eagles, The Turtles (OK, they were a little old for us), etc.

My first driving experience was in an old Renault with 3 on the column. Af ew years later, my very first car was a '67 Chevy Impala with a V8 engine. It moved (got it over 110 mph on the back roads of Julian in California) and get this I now once again own a 2004 Chevy Impala and watch for me on those back roads once again! ;0)
