So it wasn't a piece of cake, but it wasn't that difficult either. Granted it was a forgiving pickup truck - not a high-strung, nervous sports car.

I have taught hundreds to drive MT over the decades and the first thing I always tell them is that the biggest fear of learning to drive MT is the fear of learning to drive it. This is especially true now that the MT has taken on some mystic magical property that makes people think it is difficult.
Once upon a time it was so common that nobody was afraid to learn it because they hadn't been convinced it was only for a select few.
