I must have been 5.
That sounds familiar. I used to drive my grand-uncle's Dune Buggy on the back roads of a little town called Errol, NH (Up near Dixville Notch).
However, I practiced driving on the roads in my 86 Dodge Caravan. That was also my first car. Parallel Parking was a breeze because you knew exactly where the rear bumper was. The window goes right to the bumper.
Shortly after, I purchased my first car, a 1981 Chevy Malibu. It was bare, but ran great. 229 3.8L V6
Man, I wish I had that car to work on now. There was so much room under the hood! It was RWD, Automatic, no A/C, and no pass. side mirror. Power Steering that stalled the car if you turned it all the way. It turned like soft butter. Absolutely zero road feel! It did burn oil like a SOB, but that was part of the fun.
On my way home from college my Freshman year, the car caught on fire. I managed to put it out, and keep it running for another year or so. Good Times.
