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.

Someday Id like to have a hunk of property large enough to justify an old Farmall or Ford 8n

So the first time I did it there I was for 10 min struggling with the shifter until I figured out only reverse required some downward pressure on the shifter.

I guess I didn't pay close enough attention after all. By the time I cut the motor and coasted back into the driveway I had the shifting down.

I spent the weekend in JDH.... when my buddy "borrowed" his dads 289 Mustang -- and I "borrowed" my parents '63 Buick so we could drag race.... Funny -- the judge suspended my license for one year -- but since I was only 14 it really didn't matter did it?!?!?!? To this day I think the judge was dumber than a stump.
