On what kind of car did you learn to drive?

[Karen]

Hey, I eventually learned to drive a standard - from a paid stranger. T'was easier on everyone's nerves that way, and besides, it was HER clutch, not one Dad would end up fixing if I busted it!

I learned to drive in a 1965 Dodge Dart. Handed down from my grandfather. The first car I bought was a 1960 Ford Fairlane...fins, hand chock...no radio...like driving a tank. Drove it from Illinois to Arizona and for 3 years in Arizona. Sold it for more than I paid....

First new car I bought was a Mustang..and although I hd never driven one...I bought a stick shift as it was $212 (a lot of money!!!) cheaper.

I learned....

Ah brings back memories...the first car I owned was a 64 plymouth valiant...the driver door didn't work, it had push botton transmission, what a car. It cost me $150.

The very first time I got behind the wheel was in my dad's late 70's model Cadillac. It was out in the country and I got stuck across the road blocking both lanes and a car was like a mile down the road and I began to panic and cry. My dad laughed. Ohh, the memories.

I had a few learner cars too. The primary vehicle was an '89 Chevy Suburban. The actual car that I took my drivers test in was a '92 Toyota Camry. My first actual car was a '89 Ford Escort and that was my introduction to driving stick shifts. I still prefer to drive a manual, bust sadly own two automatics.

For a while my Dad took me out for lessons in his Ford Cortina, but then we had a big fight and I refused to go out with him ever again.

A few years later, once I was away from home, I paid for lessons and I had a Ford Escort.

I drove for my driving test in a 1973 Chevrolet Impala Station Wagon. What a HUGE tank it was! Wish I had a picture of it! My dad taught me to drive, and later taught me to drive a manual transmission in the Sumter Cemetrary in a Dodge Colt Station Wagon, but I can't remember the model year for that one.

I learned to drive in my 1993 Mercury Villager -- MINIVAN!! It was awesome, I loved that beast of a car.

The first manual I drove was my dad's 1997 Mercury Tracer. We still have it, and I still continue to stall it occassionally.

Now I have two automatics, (along with my dad's Tracer and my mom's Sable), which are a 2005 Chevy Cavalier and a 2002 Ford F-150. I love my car AND my truck.

A red Ford Falcon, not sure about the age. 1970 when I got my license so the car was probably 1967-1968.
It was my mom's car. I got to drive it to school on occassion when she wasnt using it for the day. Mostly, I rode the yellow school bus. I loved it when my best girlfriend got her own car.

I learned to drive in a 1982 Pontiac Sunbird. It had the gear shift on the floor (not on the steering column like most cars did 25 years ago), and it didn't have a rear view mirror on the passenger side. To this day I check over my shoulders before I change lanes because I never got comfortable with a passenger side rear view mirror.

My first car was a 1979 Dodge Omni, grey with AM radio and a four speed manual transmission. The first car I bought was a 1987 Toyota Tercel hatchback, which had a manual transmission but also air conditioning and AM, FM, cassette. The air conditioning never worked well - I used to tell passengers we could either get where we're supposed to be going, or we can be cool, but not both. Since then I've had two cars, both with automatic transmissions. My best friend from high school has a Ford Mustang with a 5-speed manual that I drive every chance I get. My dream car is a Volvo because they consistently score so high on safety tests.

I learned to drive on a standard 1999 Pontiac Sunfire GT. And let me tell you it was not fun trying to learn a standard with my dad teaching me. So one day I took it out all by myself and I learned to drive it in 10 minutes! It was my parents car then, now it is mine Here's a pic of my perty car
