I learned to drive with my Dad’s ‘59 Ford 6cylinder pickup.
3 speed on the column

My first car was a ‘66 Pontiac GTO - 4 speed stick shift on the floor

Then I got a ‘67 Mustang GT 4 speed stick shift on the floor

I miss my ‘67 mustang something terribly....

1964 MGB for me. On sub-zero days, my dad had me back it up and down the driveway to warm it up. The driveway was steep and long. By the time I was old enough to drive it on the road, I was quite skilled with a clutch.

My favorite was a ‘67 dodge van with a three on the tree. The linkage was loose and would bind up. I had to get out and yank on the linkage through the grill to get it free.

Now I have an ‘05 MR2 Spyder with five on the floor and a rear engine. Getting in and out is a skill.
