What car did you learn to drive in? Mine was a brown /6 Duster.

I went to a VERY small private high school. We had the driver's Ed class, classroom instruction only, but no facilities for Dr training.
I had to register at the local public high school for the summer, to be able to take driver training (in car)
You may not believe it.... but one of the cars was...... a 70 roadrunner (green, of course!).
Needless to say, I don't remember any of the others.
 
Learned to drive a stick in a Vega. What a pile of ship. Original engine was complete garbage at 40k miles.
It ended up with a 327, 350 turbo, and a narrowed 8 3/4, on polished centerlines.
 
12, sisters Saab bolt action collum shift. Is what I learned to drive in.
 
Started in the alley driving my dad's international pick up with a 304 and three on the tree. Got to the end of the alley, turned left up a steep hill and killed it. Tried to start out and killed it again. My dad blustered, so I started again, and this time I floored it, then dumped the clutch. Having an overdrive, the rear gears were 4.28. International school buses usually had the same short stroke 304, and if you ever noticed, they could rev. I laid rubber 100 feet up the hill, probably turning 6000 RPMs, but I didn't kill it.

I had been driving for two years when I took drivers Ed in 10th grade to get cheaper insurance yeah. Me at age 14 behind the wheel... now there's a scary thought
 
At my aunt’s cottage a cousin had a brand-new light-yellow 1968 Dodge Coronet.

Spent the late summer driving the back roads between Arden and Sharbot Lake finally venturing out on Hwy 7.

The love affair with Mopar’s started then and continues today.
