What did you learn in?

I started learning to drive on the gravel back roads/farm roads in a 1950-1960's Ford pick-up. No power anything! It took all 140 pounds of me to turn the thing. I had a blast the whole time though. I actually took the test in Mom's car though - easier to parallel park. Learned to drive a ATV at 15 - more back road exploring.

My brother taught me to drive in his "60-something Corvair, that was before the Corvairs were retired for their stupendous safety record.

I tried teaching both my sons in my standard-shift Plymouth Tracer.... the younger one did fine, but the older one got freaked out about stalling & then didn't get his drivers license till he was 22. Still won't touch a stick shift. (Guess I should cross "driving instructor" off my list of potential careers?)
