learning to drive a stick...what car did you learn on.
Plymouth Arrow back in the day.

Arrow Fastback or Arrow Truck?
I learned to drive stick in an '87 D50 4x4 with a 9' Dumpbed, and a 7.5' Snow Plow on the Front. I was about 11 years old at the time
My dad threw me the keys, told me to plow the snow off the driveway and not hit anything. He then walked back inside where it was warm.
Wasn't long after that, he had me driving a '55 2.5 Ton Chevy Dumptruck up into the mountains to haul stuff. Had a 4-Speed with a 2-Speed Rear Differential, Double Clutching with a Crashbox and a 2-Speed Rear.
When I got my permit, I drove an '84 and an '87 D50 4x4 (Both Stick). Took my Driver's Test in the '87, with a snow plow hanging from the front. Instructor said he'd never seen anyone parallel park a plow truck before :D
I still have that '84, only it's not a stick anymore (sadly). Both '87 D50's are long gone, replaced one of them with a '92 D50 4x4 (Stick also). Seeing a trend here? Not the D50's (I like those), the fact that all of them were Manuals. The Automatic Transmissions (TF904 and A500 Overdrive) were extremely rare options and I've only ever seen 4 automatic D50's in my life.
