Ah Deb, you had wise parents - betting you can still hear when it isn't running quite right :)
I learned driving riding lawnmowers, tractors, stick 67 Mustang (red of course), a duster and a cutlass. Oh, and there were a few outings on the minibike and roaring around the fields in pickup trucks.

We road motorcycles before we learned to drive. I was good- never dumped it. And snowmobiles in the winter.
Now- I look at the dirt bikes and think- I did that? How stupid was I? Youth....
(But I have a quad and still snowmobile)

60-something Plymouth stationwagon, 3 on the column. I avoided hills, called it the tank. So heavy, it'd roll down the hill before I could pop the clutch. Not afraid to drive anything after that experience.
