Mine was a 48-49 GMC pickup. Dad took me out in the pasture and shut it off and got out. He said drive it home. It took a while but I made it.

That would be a 1972 Plymouth Barracuda 318 automatic. It was my Uncles car. I was spending the weekend at his house and suprised me by throwing me the keys and told me I could drive it around the neighborhood as long as I didnt tell my parents. I was 12 at the time. I almost got it stuck in a ditch and luckly I was able to get it out cause my uncle had a horrible temper!!! :scared:

Sad to hear about your friend Dutch. My condolences.

The first car I drove was a 1978 Honda Civic.
My friends and I had a lot of fun in that one, especially in the winter, seeing how reckless we could drive on desolate roads with lots of snow in the ditches.
When we drove off the road, it was just to open the door on the side that could open, and just climb out to lift the car back on the road. No damage at all to the car due to the snow. Besides, it was never much speed anyway.

My first car that I owned was a 1975 Civic CVCC.  I learned a LOT about cars from that little thing.  :swaying:  Ahh, those were the days.   :roflsmiley:

My dad would go to Canada fishing every summer for a week so when I was 14 and he went fishing I started to drive his 1959 Pontiac Bonnieville 389 -4barrel back and forth in front of the house. I even did my first burn out with it in front of the house while my Mom was at work. He came home and wanted to know why there was a quarter of a tank of gas missing from his car. I guess I made lots of back up's and pull downs.

I was 14 0r 15 and my dad was giving me driving lessons. We pulled over to the side of a gravel road and a cow was getting it from behind from a bull. lol It was a 1974 Chrysler Newport with a 400

well, i as well got the on the knee training, and pop then took me to the highschool so we could practice in a nice big parking lot. what ever happened to those days? around here they will arrest you(thats if you can even get through the chains to actually get on the campus)for trespassing!
i have a 13 year old daughter to teach, and im wondering where i can.
but i digress, the first car i drove on my own was a 69 charger r/t
i was 13 years old, and just into h/s.
pop bought it with/for me for 200 smackeroos off one of my friends brothers.
the conditions were: get and maintain decent grades
about 80 hours of mechanical repair and bondywork(and yes i spelled it correctly hahah)later we had it lookin and runnin good.
first car i primered as well.
she was hemi orange with a 383 auto.
had to run some cheater slicks, as those were the only tires and rims i could find that would bolt on. man i loved that car, i wish i had taken pics, but who knew? almost no front brakes, but she went like hell down the road!!
my brother was driving a 72 cutlass supreme at the time, and was scared of my charger, and i dont blame him, he did turn out to live at home far to long anyways hahaha.
but alas ,was not meant to be, after getting an a in auto shop, but an f+ in p.e. i arrived home to find a bare space in the street where my beloved car once proudly resided.
sorry to be long winded.

1996 holden commodore 3.8 wagon. Bench seat with column shift auto. That was just around on the driveway.

 First car i properly drove was a 1989 opel kadett (badged as a pontiac le mans) 2 litre manual - my brothers beatewr and in an industrial park, then his 1995 subaru legacy wagon just a couple ks back to his house from where he parked it.

 Then (i think) my first car - a 1989 austin maestro van, 1.6 4-speed. That was a POS, but I miss it because it could fit a materess perfectly in the back.
