My first turn of a wheel was in a 1995 Dodge Neon Sport. With the killer three-speed auto. Yay!

I took my drivers test in a 1999 Mercury Mystique with the 4 pot because I didn't want to go crazy in the car first dubbed my own, a 1999 Ford Contour Sport.
Later I owned a 1987 Toyota Corolla FX16 for about four months and then a 1998 Ford Escort ZX2. I tried to learn stick in my friend's 1995 Ford Ranger for a little bit and then fully learned it in my uncle's 2003 Toyota Matrix XRS. Man that was barrels of fun!
