What was the first vehicle you ever drove?

8 years old I drove the 84 gmc to feed by myself

 

Haha, they are. I got a 67 and it's definitely a man's truck. Rides like a running horse and the first 2 gears are not synchronized, 3rd and 4th are barely synchronized. That's why I don't understand why people complain about 2nd gen manuals, they are so easy to drive compared to old truck trannys.

 

Great thread!

 

some dodge mini van prob around 4 or 5, drove around the neighborhood. (had to be before 2000 because thats when we got the tundra) first time i drove on the road. i was 12 it was a F250 super duty, on east EDEN road in western NY. edit: oh and the F350 had a bunch of hay on the back.

 

A 1968 Pontiac Cutlass during drivers ed.

 

growing up, my best friend's dad was a shade-tree mechanic, so he always had old junker cars in various stages of repair around. when he wasn't home, my friend and i would try to drive any car that would start and appeared to have wheels on it. most of the time it was a heavily-oxidized red, mid-to-late 80s renault alliance. we taught ourselves how to drive stick in that car. they had a 1/4 mile gravel driveway that we'd haul ass up and down! it was great fun! we'd have to re-rake the gravel to hide the 180s and slides and burnouts we were doing though so he wouldn't catch on.

pretty sure his dad was on to us though... haha!

 

lol. i bet he was on to you guys. less gas, more miles, and dust /dirt on the car.

 

66 Ford Custom 500, my fathers car. I was probably about 12 and out of the blue, my father just pulled over and asked me if I wanted to drive. I did OK, it was a three on the tree.

 

i was 8 years old and my dad let me drive his 85 red toyota pick up, straight axle 4x4...gawd i loved that truck growing up

 

Nice !!!, I still kick myself for selling my '83 solid axle....

 

Mine first was a 1973 Chevrolet Caprice Classic....

 

1979 Toyota Pickup. 2wd 5spd

It was baby shit brown in color with a white camper and vomit colored shag carpet lined bed.

 

old dodge pick up my grandaddy had to drive around the farm as a work truck. It was a piece of shit, but I used to drive the wheels off that thing, it finally died this past winter and its on the trailer to take it to the scrap yard. The truck pulling it is a 2000 3500 duramax flatbed, that was probably the first truck I drove on the road. Now he has a 1994 nissan frontier, that he bought from one of his friends to for my little cousin to drive around, he loves it as much as I loved that truck.

 

1999 Mazda 626..good little car with a nice bose sound system i fell in love with...anything could have broken..but sound system was all I cared about Oil leaks causing it issues though...about 180k on it and right now its our backup car.

(What sucks is the place where I took this pic is now roped off so can't put the taco in this same place )

 

1972 Plymounth Satatalite. 4 door, 3 speed, 318 motor. That car could move, but was best at moving in a strait line.

Here is one similar
