    Well mine may take the cake. I learned to drive clutched vehicles starting around 5 or 6 on our 1952 Ford 8N farm tractor. I couldn't reach the pedles so I would just stand up and put my weight down on the clutch pedal to push the clutch in. I started riding dirtbikes when I was 10. First car I drove was a 1985 911 that my grandad had in his shop. I was fine in it and any other manual car I have been in since. Tractor taught me a lot. As for the '52 well we sold it and upgraded when i was 10 or so...to a '53 lol

    thats it for me.

    I sure did. It was my aunt's and my uncle just happen to be borrowing it and let me drive it in a school parking lot. I think I scared him pretty good though.

    I learned to drive a 95 Ford Escort LX 5 speed. But my first car was a auto.
    My family still owns the escort and it still runs kind of.
