What did you learn in?

RICHARD, I learned to drive and took my driver's test in my dad's 1965 Ford country squire station wagon land yacht. You talk about a big car! It was like driving a small bus!

Was that the model with the wood decals on the side?

Before the Great Pumpkin the folks owned a yellow station wagon, the Screaming Yellow Zonker....I always wanted one with the rear facing seat in the back-but no luck there!

OMG, it was so long ago, I don't remember. This was long before Driver's Ed in schools, so my mother sent me to AAA for lessons. All I remember - it was manual. Back then, in Rhode Island at least, if you took your test in an automatic, it was stamped For Automatic Only. To drive a stick, you had to retake the test in a manual.

If you took the test in a manual, you were good to go for either.
