The family truckster was a '72 Kombi poptop camper with the back seats refitted for us kids. The day I turned 16 I could get my learner's permit I did so amd my dad started teaching me to drive it. The thing was a terror to find gears in even for someone used to it, but I got there in the end.
Over the years I've owned very few auto cars. Back then they were still a bit uncommon compared to the (cheaper) manual gearbox variants so most people here can drive a manual. It's even moreso in Europe but high fuel costs and up front expense means cheap eco type stuff has always been the most popular. Old autos used to suck a lot of fuel.
