learning to drive a stick...what car did you learn on.

Learned to row the gears on a 1970 Duster 3 speed on the way home from Texas to Ca sitting between my mom and dad on the hot black bench seat, i think i was 5 or 6. Learned to drive a stick on my dads company car, a 1975 Celica GT. First year they offered a 5 speed i think. That shifter was sloppy but smooth. Nice clutch too. Day and night compared to his other car, a Subaru GL-10, that had a clutch from hell. Drivers ed teacher told us on a manual trans, stalled in a bad spot like intersection or railroad tracks, jam it in first, hit the starter ( no clutch!) and floor it when it catches....my mom **** when i pulled that.
