I learned how to drive in my dads Jeep...offroad lol. The first time I ever drove was out on the indian reservation on this dirt road with a lot of small hills. Dad kept telling me to go faster lol. I caught a little bit of air that day! When I fianally got my licence, before dad got me a jeep of my own, I was taking my mom out to dinner and backed OVER a cart return. Luckily my dads Jeep is tough and the store had been closed and scheduled to be demolished so no one really cared. I was rather embarassed though.

My first stick shift was my little Pill (still happy I have her too ) My dad bought it for me because of its insanely good gas milage (I couldn't afford the jeep anymore and the pill was selling for a whopping $800 lol). He told me though if I wanted it I would have to drive it home from work myself! I had never driven a stick shift other than in a parking lot, so I had somewhat of a clue what to do but not really lol. I did manage to get the thing home though, and I DID teach myself how to drive it running around my neighborhood. Ive been driving it so long though now automatic transmission cars drive me nuts. I keep looking for a clutch and hitting the brakes .
