Since then, have you learned to drive?

Since I was 17 what about you?

I learned when I was about twelve in a ford falcon with the three on
the tree. I sorta ground the gears a bit at first but I finally got the
hang of it after my dad slapped me upside the head a few times.
arrgghhh!

I learned to drive with a 70 Challenger RT running a 383 with a 4 speed.
It wasn't your usual transportation special kids get for their first
car. Clutch friction plates and tires didn't last long on that thing. It
was hard not to squeal the tires a bit in first when letting out the
clutch without letting it slip a lot. I hated to drive in the winter, the
car was way too light in the back end, and way too nose heavy, thus
getting stuck in the snow was a problem.

Those are beautiful cars man, I'm surprised you drove it in the winter.
What color was it, and was it the pistol grip shifter?

Those uni-bodies are light and quick, I always liked the body lines on the
Challengers', was it your car? That's a hell of a machine to learn on.
