When Did You Drive Your First.....................
1st 4-speed: 1969 right after I got married. My ex's co-worker had a '66 mustang fastback that my ex would borrow occasionally to come home for lunch (we only had 1 car at the time). I'd pester her to go driving rather than eating lunch.
1st column-shift manual: never have
1st VW: 1970, my dad bought a Meyers Manx-type VW-based dune buggy while I was in Louisiana in Basic Training.
1st Muscle Car: 1969, my buddie's brand new Chevelle SS396
1st Mopar: 1969, my 340 Swinger I bought used in November of '69
1st Street Race: 1965, in my first car - '64 Olds Cutlass
1st Street Race ticket/1st Exhibition of Speed Ticket/1st Drag Race: within a couple of years of each other with my '69 340 Swinger
