Here we go.................

Let me be first.

Be VERY careful. I'm assuming you have a responsible adult with you. Just understand it's a very strong car and you need to take extra caution.

BTW, what car are you ganna have as yours?

I learned to drive a stick on my mom's old car. It was a 1989 toyota corolla alltrac station wagon. I got rid of that in 2000 for my current car, but I do still miss having the stick shift.

I had so much more control in the snow and stuff with that car.

I learned in my 3.8L 1996 Camaro which I still daily drive.

Respect the power

Taught myself the mechanics of it sitting in a car at the Cleveland Auto Show as a small child, but when 16 tried it for real in a friend's 1986 Chevy Cavalier that was already quite old by that time. Didn't stall once (of course did so as time progressed, when I got a hand-me-down '82 Ford EXP.

LOL, I had a 85 ford tempo that only had 1st-3rd gear, no floor on the passengers side, and no brakes

. Best damn field car ever.
