What did you learn to drive in?

My earliest memory is riding along with grandpa on his Farmall A and steering...



We always had a bunch of different vehicles around, but I remember driving Dad's '75 F100 302 2bl, 4spd. I also remember learning that it didn't have a neutral/clutch safety by starting it in gear.....scared the **** of me!

I "learned" to drive at eight years old, if you can call it driving.

It was an El Camino that my father had at the time.

I learned to drive in a 1984 Chevy Conversion van. 4 shades of brown and tan velour interior. I took my drivers test in a Chevy S10 Blazer.

My first car was a 1981 Jeep CJ7. $650. My dad and I bought it one weekend when mom was traveling. Boys weekend...woohoo! So what do we do...go buy a Jeep. On the way home he says we HAVE to clean this POS up before your mother gets home. We rattle can painted it, bought some used tires and right as we were putting it all back together, I stepped right through the passenger floorboard all the way up to my knee. Flintstone style!!! Of course she pulls up within minutes of that happening and I throw the rubber floor mat in the foot well to conceal the hole. She goes in the house and we grab a piece of sheet metal, bend it up and screw it in place with self tapping screws. What a hack job looking back on it!! A few minutes later here comes mom ready for a ride in the "Heep" as it was affectionately referred to by my parents. Man I wish I still had that thing!! So many great memories.
