 Av> What was the first car you learned to drive in?

My mom owned a Subaru hatch back in 1986ish (I believe thats when I got my learners permit).  It was a stick shift and we lived in Colorado.  May her rest in peace, having had to teach me to drive up and down snow and ice packed busy roads during the middle of winter.  I'm still unclear how either of us survived.

I did not own a car until moving to my dads.  He had a 1975 Chevy Vega towed to our house, handed me a chilton's owners manual for that make/model vehicle, and told me if I could get it working, it was mine.  I got it working, frequently and repetitively, but it was nice to have my own wheels.  I even had a buddy put air shocks on for me, we both had the intent of putting a smaller/lighter V8 in it, but never got around to doing so.
