Dad would take me out to the country and let me drive his '68 Mustang when I was 13 or 14. My high school driver's ed car was a 1988 Buick Somerset Regal. I took my driver's test in my mom's 1983 Mercury Cougar(on the day I turned 16). My first car was the aforementioned 1968 Mustang.

Started off driving in a '52 Ford F-2 pickup. No power steering or brakes, of course. Unsyncronized 4 speed. After I got better with the truck, Dad let me drive the family car some, it was the "Wurlitzer" 1958 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88. At least it had an automatic and power steering. No radios in either vehicle, as Dad didn't believe in them. I was driving by myself at 12 years old. We lived in the country, and it was unheard of to have cops around the area.
