An old Chevy pickup, with my dad mocking and bitching at me the entire time which really helped my anxiety about being on the road. Wonderful learning experience. First and last time I ever went out with him to learn to driving.

The fuck is a clutch? Oh, manual gear? I learned at driving school, I think all of them use manual cars in Brazil, since they're way more common than automatics
I learned in a car with automatic transmission first, but had to drive both and prefer (strongly prefer) a manual transmission.
Worst one ever - The Van. The shifter was about a meter long, the gears were so hard to find, and I had to drive it in tight spaces.
Best one ever, my current Honda from 2014. Absolutely glorious.
Still own one. Was looking at going to a Kona EV but sounds like there's a wide spread reduction gear issue with the model I was considering, so maybe not.
Yeah I learned with a clutch, its very useful to have that skill in many countries where automatic is not available or much cheaper to rent.
I learned on a 1st gen Saturn. That's before GM ruined the brand. It had a good deal of pickup to it, and was a lot of fun in the snow.
I don't miss it though. If I lived somewhere I could joyride with zero hills, traffic or parallel parking, sure. Otherwise? It's not worth it.
I learned stick in my 30s after driving an automatic up until then. Humbling to have to learn to drive again at that point in your life.
I learned for motorcycling
I'm learning to manually change gears for my first time in my 30s, but on a bike.
Agreed, it is incredibly humbling. I've been driving for over half my life, and now I'm struggling to operate a vehicle all over again.
I just put a new clutch in the vehicle I'm teaching my kid to drive.
A big 2001 yellow box jeep, almost tipped that damn thing dozens of times.
Volkswagen Golf type 3.
Yes, and in the land of automatics no less, and on a '99 Celica GT. It was mom's car, but I drove it like it was mine.
Hah, you're not getting my security answers that easily! 🚗
