What car did you learn to drive a manual in?

89 civic dx 4dr when i was 11....... i ran over a lawnmower trying to back it up..... then relearned when i bought my civic 4 years ago. ... i had to drive it home, but for a $1200 unmolested granny car..and a new born and no car

Hrm well there were an array of cars I "learned" in.... 98 accord, 99 s-10, 2001 STI are the only ones I can remember

When did you come stateside?

72 Ford F100 302 v8 3 speed on the column!!!

Hell yeah!!


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.
