Can you remember the first car you learned to drive?

Mine was a 90s Chevy Silverado. Up to this day this car is still running with 326k miles on it. We call him Blue.

1965 Plymouth Satellite Sebring, 426 Max Wedge, 4 speed stick. Wish I still had that car. It was my Mom’s and she drove it for more than 40 years.

Started on Mom & Dad's 1966 Plymouth Belvedere and 1950 Mercury Coupe. I moved on to a 1965 Plymouth Fury that led into the first of two 1970 Dodge Chargers. The first one an SE and the second one an RT. That muscle car trend lasted for many years.

Yep my dad's Pontiac Lemans I didn't even have a permit he threw me the keys and said go get me some cigars then I drove thru some water and the brakes got wet and I ran thru a red light at the bottom of the bridge holy cow I never forgot that and always check my brakes when I drive thru water.
I think that car had drums in the rear but not sure if the fronts were disc ?

Hard to remember that far back. It might have been Mom & Dad's 60 Chevy Station Wagon. But not the first car I had driven before. The first car I bought when I was 16, was a 59 Chevy with 100K miles on it. I want to say I paid $700 for it in 1965 when I turn 16. I had saved my money selling Newspapers with two different companies. The local Herald Dispatch, and the Tucson Daily Citizen. I also sold TV Guides door to door. Later I got a job at the A&W washing mugs and baskets, peeling and slicing 50 pounds of potatoes for French Fries about every other day, and making the root beer in huge stainless-steel tubs. Making $1.00 per hour. When I turned 16. I got $1.25 per hour. But it got even better when a car hop did not show up and I got to hop cars and made $20 just in tips alone on top of my dishwashing! Ahhhh... the good old days!
