learning to drive a stick...what car did you learn on.
When I was 10 I started driving my grandma's Internationl Harvester Farm-All Super C. Didn't really need to shift while moving but got the clutch thing down even on hills. Then when I was 11 they got a very used dump truck for the farm which is when I learned how to shift. After all that I don't recall what car I actually had to shift.
I think back about how dangerous that old farm equipment was and how young I was - it makes all of the other stuff I did seem safe.
