First car I ever drove on a public road was in 1975, I was 11 and a neighbor let me drive is bright yellow and black VW Thing to the liquor store 1/2 mile away so he could buy more beer.

The car I learned to drive in, my brothers 1970 Porsche 914-6 GT. I also took the DMV driving test in it. Wish I had a picture of the DMV guys face.

My first car was a pickup truck. 74 Chevy C-10 heavy half longbed, dark green with white top. Shaved it and repainted, threw on some chrome mod wheels, and cruised. It had a 350 with an Erson cam, and was pretty fast for an old truck. Wish I still had it.

The first car that I owned was a '77 Plymouth Volare - bright orange coupe with a 318 / auto. You could watch it rust away in the driveway, but it was free (thanks, Dad!).

The car I learned to drive on was my mom's '79 Buick Electra (which we bought from my great-grandparents when Gramps had to stop driving). Sort of like taking the living room for a drive. But that Buick 350 would smoke the right rear wheel from stop sign to stop sign.
