2006 Honda Civic Si - My old econobox with transmission problems from day 10 :P

 

1990 "rust :p" blue 240sx FB, learned how to drive on the way home from the sellers house about 30 km's away...i had some of the hardest stalls ever (and would for the next 2 weeks...) kept it in a storage garage, and became good friends with the garage attendant, so i would constantly zoom all around the alleys of the garage practicing my technique...good memories

 

1993 ford ranger

 

6x6 military transport- have you seen the # of military in here? its like half

 

99 corolla, my cousin taught me, i never really got it tho...then bought my 8 then i REALLY learned

 

A 1968 Volkswagen beetle that was, and still is, a blast to drive around town.

No power steering, no power breaking, no AC, no airbags, motor on the windshield wipers is shot. Awesome!

The clutch is by far the easiest clutch to operate ever

But we just replaced the fuel pump because it was shot and gas was getting mixed in with the oil

 

2003 Evo

 

I first drove a VW TDI for about 30 minutes in a parking lot, but I learned to drive stick on my 8.

 

'88 VW Fox 4spd - one tough/reliable little car

 

84 Mazda RX-7 GLS-SE was my first manual car....This is where my love began..

 

So long ago I don't remember...

 

My rx8 muahaha!

Well I use to drive my dads truck back when I was growing up but went about 10yrs without touching a manual..so had to "relearn" although it only took about 10mins, by the time night came I was uptown looking for ladies lol....So yeah nothing hard to really learn.

 

1993 Ford Probe.

My fist car was an automatic. I wrecked it, which in hindsight was probably for the best.

 

My first car that I bought for $500 when I was 16....a 1989 Ford Tempo.

 

My RX-8

 

1990 jetta

 

my friends 04 rsx type s.

 

My buddies Toyota Celica was my first practice car, but I only drove it like twice. I got my Z28 with very little time behind a manual gearbox... which was good for lots of laughs. ...for my friends anyway.

 

Triumph TR-6 when I was 15. My Grandad was into classics. Bought me my first car when I was 16 for $400 and it didnt run. Was a 1962 for falcon and we replaced the broken pushrods and drove it away. The former owner was ticked.

 

Not really that old but ... an early '30 Model A tudor.

 

ToothFairy, Rotary Rasp, and eviltwinkie's RX8s

 

My cousin taught me to drive stick in his '75 (i think) Scirocco. I LOVED that car!

 

J Reg (Thats 1990 for everybody else) Rover Mini City 998cc, absolute beauty!

 

1985 I learned to drive on a stick. My dad's 65 VW bug. That was also the first car I helped rebuild a engine on
On Marin st in Berkeley CA, a very steep hill.
He parked halfway up the hill got out and said your turn.... Needless to say I coasted back far and stalled a few times before i got the hang of it. But I got the hang of it quicky (no choice not to). I had been riding motorcycles since I was 5 though... so the idea of clutch and shifting was nothing new. Just had not used my feet for clutch before.
The only automatics I would want to own are trucks. Because after all towing with a sick is a bad idea. This of course does not include high end auto sequential trans avail in super cars...after all I do dream of one day owning a nice Ferrari.

Makes me wonder how I will teach my son to drive. I already have plans to get him into kart racing by the time he is 5 or 6. If he wants to of course. I'd never force him.
