I found this picture the other day which inspired me to write this thread....What did you learn to drive in. For me, it was my dads 59 chevy pickup on his ranch in laramie, wy.

Before I could actually practice on the road I learned in a 1992 Ford Ranger, also learned how to drive a manual transmission on that truck....was rusted and beat but that little truck was amazing. Hauled everything you threw in the bed to! When I got to actually drive on the road, my first Cherokee, 99 XJ.

My dads 3/4 ton GMC pickup with a POS TBI 350. Turning radius of a ship, no power (think same HP and torque as an XJ, but 2000lbs heavier) but I scared the crap out of him when I hit it too hard and drifted it on a gravel road. Also my moms turbo Subaru forester which even if I downshift and build boost it still has no *****. Its also harder to steer than my friend's MR2 which has no power steering.
I hate my parents' DD vehicles.

Got the main idea down in a backhoe when I was 7. Thanked Grandpa for showing me by steeling his Chev 1500 P.O.S. when I was 8. Got it stuck when I was 10 and Grandma still doesn't know.
