Learned to drive in a 95 Nissan Sentra with a 5 spd. It had been my sisters, then my moms, then mine, then I sold it to my brother after 2 yrs of DDing it.

It was the doggiest vehicle of all time, you had to drop into 3rd gear to go up a hill on the highway. BUT I got 32mpg city and 41hwy

The first time I even drove was at drivers training, and that was when it was provided "Free" at the school. The first car they put me in was a brand spanking new Golden Eagle CJ7. Gotta love school!!!!

Learned to drive at age 12 in my greatgrandmothers '82 Silverado. When my nana & gramma(greatgrandmother) would take me to church with them, I would drive to and from church, "so a man could properly take them to town" as was my grandmothers excuse when I accidentally told my mother.

I learned how to drive in a 74 chevy vega. My father restored classic cars and this was a car that was going to the scrapper. I drove that piece of crap on the trails behind my dads shop for 2 years. It had an unfortunate accident and sunk in a pond.....oops.
