What was the first car you learned to drive in?
For me it was a Triumph Herald station wagon that my parents owned. It
was a manual (like they all were then) and had really nice wooden
paneling with the interior.
I sometimes still see this type of car on the road and I get very nostalgic :)

IHC Scout with manual everything. The Scout was a Landrover type
offering from International Harvestor Company that basically embraced a the experience of driving a large truck in a small package! Later I banged it up enough off road that it was retired.
Really it was a poor choice for a new driver, other than being hard to break.

I learned on a VW Beatle from drive school. My first car was a
Chevy Opala Coup‚ (brazilian version of Opel Rekord 67) with a L4
151 cid american engine (from Chevy Nova) with a 3 speed column
transmission and full bench seat. The unique photo i have (1981):

Nice... :)
Strange thing is that your reply has landed in FSX_TEST and not FSX_TRANSPORT ... can you check your export settings for me :)
Wow and ouch! Did they ever recover the car or was it on to car number
two at that stage?
the Police contacted me to say they found it and if I wanted to come see what was left of it, where I could see it. I went and told the insurance company to crush what was left. The motor was half gone, the interior
was gone, the wheels and tires along with just about everything else.. Wasn't worth the rebuild..

Sounds like a good idea... cool they found the car though.

through college and several years later. I do not recall if I ever got
the cash back out before I sold it!

was a kid. Had a '52 Ford 8N tractor with a 4 cylinder flat head engine. It is what taught me how to operate a clutch.
13 HD engine a bit louder. I also remember that it had a hand crank for starting.
My dad use to tell me that urban legend had it that there was danger of getting your arm broken if the vehicle backfired. I always thought that
My father taught me to make sure my thumb was on the same side of the crank handle as my fingers to protect against backfiring. I never experienced a backfire though and am not sure how well changing your thumb position wouldSounds like good advice!
