I learned to drive on a manual transmission VW Bug
—————————>
Me too! Actually, the day after I’d learned to drive on an automatic from a Sears Easy Method instructor and obtained my license, I bought a 3 year old VW and would take it at night to the empty parking lot across the street from my apartment to practice with the gearshift until I was comfortable. I’ve only ever had one automatic vehicle since then, and very briefly, because I couldn’t wait to re-sell it.
Maybe I’ve posted this before, but several times when I had to leave my pickup truck with a valet parker when doing gigs at at Mar-A-Lago, he had to go find another one who could drive it.

I bought my first new car back in 1980 (thereabouts), and it was a stick shift.
I learned to drive it as I was leaving the dealership and during the ride home. LOL! Got a few 1 finger salutes along the way. 😂
