Learned to drive in a 70's international pickup on my grandpa's farm...i was to short to reach the pedals so my brother put it in gear and i drove her across the field and killed it when i needed to stop...here's an example pic(minus the plow and add a sprayer), love these old trucks they can take a beating and still run stronger than ever.

A Ford Courier pick up, 4sd(basically a Mazda pick up)
We lived 20 miles from the high school I went to and my dad was a teacher/head football coach. I had just got my learners during the school day. As my dad and I walked out to the truck, he tossed me the keys and said, "You are gonna drive us home today!"
I was scared to death especially knowing that I had to deal with highway traffic on US220 south out of Roanoke. I don't think I got over 45 mph the whole way home. I'm sure I killed his clutch and rounded off a few gears. He sat on the pass side and laughed his *** off at me the whole way home!
The good ole days, I wish dad was still around to laugh at me, then I could laugh with him again......
