When Did You Drive Your First.....................

First stick shift was my Dads 72 Datsun pickemup, 7 years old. First trip on a public road was when I was 8 or 9. First time I rode a dirt bike was when I was 13 or so, was a 1975 (?) rm 100. First street bike was a 1983 GPZ 750. First hot rod was my friends 65 Big Block Vette, 800 hp, muncie m22 with 4.56's. Got to drive that car from NJ to NH and back several times. Nothing like crusing in that thing with the top down on a warm August night. 1990 I got a ride in an original 427 Cobra. The owner of it drove it like a rental, talk about fun........just remembered my neighbor had a 55 Chevy pickup, bone stock. Still had the vac. wipers on it. I remember being 6 or 7 the first time I went for a ride in it. I rode shotgun in that truck alot when I was a little kid. First time I fell out of a vehicle was when I was 12 or so. Dad bought a used 66ish Chevy truck for his business. The neighbor that owned the 55 truck was working for my Dad. Were driving out of the yard my Dad ran his business out of, rounded a corner and out I went. Fell out of that thing several times before my Dad parked it out in the field with the signed title in the glove box. Sat there for 10 years before someone took it.....
