I learned how to drive in an 84 Ford Ranger. 8 years old tearing up the logging roads by our house. My first vehicle was an 03 Ranger with 5 speed. Man I loved that thing.

Don't know the year but it was a 60s Chevy truck with a column shift. "Three on the tree". Drove it when I was 13-14 at the family farm. Never on the road.

I'm 59 years old, have owned 5 vehicles in my life, not a single one of them had an automatic transmission.

I learned to drive in a Ford Fairmont with an automatic transmission.

Was riding my dad's Big Red when I was 7 or 8 and by the time I was in high school it was practically mine.
Learned to drive my pawpaw's 83 Dodge Ram with granny gear across the pasture with a load of firewood in the back.
My parents had an 86 Dodge Ram and 89 Honda Accord - both manual. My sister refused to learn to drive them.
My first vehicle was a 91 Nissan Hardbody 5 speed manual.

I didn't initially learn how to drive with a clutch but my second vehicle was a single cab 6 speed Ford Ranger. I couldn't even fit an Alpine amp in that cab it was so small. The real struggle was being limited to only girls under 80lbs if you catch my drift.
