what did you learn to drive on?
a picture from another thread reminded me of something..
post pics of the car (or actual car if you can) that you learned to drive on. pref people 30 and over cuz it's just more funny that way, younglings welcome too though. Here is mine, my grandfather taught me to drive in Russia's cottage country. i almost killed both of us the first day out by narrowly missing an 18wheeler in the oncoming lane.. whoops.

1964 Ford Falcon wagon just like this one except with no roof rails/rack, and different wheels. Steel dash, steel steering wheel, AM-only radio with civil defense markers in case of a nuclear attack (all the more seasoned members will remember growing up with duck-n-cover drills in school). Brings back fond memories...
Learned to drive a stick in something just like this...my friend's dad's new 1981 Fiat Spider. Last edited by Stu baru; 08-10-2012 at 10:39 AM. |

A camry, a '96 I believe, either that or a '94. I still remember my dad yelling "Don't you wreck this f'ing car into that guard rail!" When trying to teach me how to do a proper 3-point turn. Gotta say, not a fun experience at all.

Learned stick on this:
Also drove this with my permit: It was weird, first day i drove stick, i did pretty good, didnt get yelled at from my dad (which is amazing, you should hear the horror stories my mom told me lol). But the 2nd day i did so bad he decided to have my 14 y/o sister get in the drivers seat and "show me up"... all she did was dump the clutch and smoke the tires off (she had no idea what she was doing), but he didnt get mad at all!!! Great times! Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk 2 |

I learned on my Mom's '76 Mercury Capri II, which was handed down mostly to my brother and sister. The car was a complete turd except that it had a "rolling" light. Some people might know what that means.
First day taking it to high school an old man backed into me in a parking lot. Couldn't hit the horn fast enough since the frickkin' horn button as at the end of the turn signal stock. Stupid location!

A 1974 Porsche 911s
This.... but black It's clutch was so strong, I always felt like it could break a bone if you put the clutch in all the way and let it go back up into something. Went to parallel park it once and forgot it had no power steering, haha |
