My first car that I learned to drive on was a 1995 Nissan Maxima with a 5 speed manual, it was a pretty fun car to drive as a kid.

I recently got to drive a right hand drive truck with a manual, that took a little thought to shift with my left hand. A couple times I reached down with my right hand out of habit.
