My early driving experience was with a 15 hp, 3 speed manual transmission lawn/garden tractor. I think I was doing this from age 11.
Before my sister was turned loose with my parents manual transmission econobox, my dad took her out to a parking lot. He then let me drive it as well, and I know I was driving better than my older sister! I think I was 14.
When it can time for my driving test, my choice was a Datsun 310, front drive manual, or a 1977 Ford LTD station wagon (The devastation wagon!). I chose the manual.
