I drove that car till it died. :-) Dh taught me to drive a stick in a 62 beetle with mudgrips. he also told me (wrongly) that I could not burn rubber in that car. Yeah I was a pistol back in the day. There's a 72 Cobra mustang sitting in my driveway now that belongs to my dd.....I get driving privileges when she gets it running!
I had a '67 bug that would burn rubber and beat the socks off a '70 beetle going uphill.......LOL!

I drove just barely in a 76 Mercury Cougar, then then decided I wasn't ready yet (or my brother decided, might be more accurate), so then I went on to a Cutlass Supreme (not even sure what year, but a much smaller car and some kid had put a tiny little racing steering wheel in it. Mom and I were driving around town and mom said, this car will turn tight, its not like the cougar... the next thing I know, she's yelling at me to get off the curb. It turned tight alright. tee hee
