recently turned 18

Pack it up fellas

Fiat Punto.

Exam cars in my area were puntos so schools tended to teach the same model.

A forest green 1997 Honda Accord

Ford KA Mk1, absolute shitbox and I still miss it despite driving a classic super mini these days.

My first real drive was my brother's Saab. Quirky car to start with

Early 80's Subaru sedan with a manual. On a cross country trip with my dad when we moved from the West Coast to Massachusetts. Good times...except hitting a turtle somewhere in Penn.

Any other security questions you’d like people to expose? What about the street I grew up on driving that car? /s

Some manual car provided by the driving school. Not a gear/petrol/car head

The format was a bit bigger than a compact or full-size.

Red '89 Civic hatchback. It lacked power steering so I had to turn the wheel a hundred times to make it turn. It felt ancient to me and it was manual transmission. My dad wanted me to learn manual even though most cars are automatic in the US. No power steering absolutely sucked, but it turns out knowing how to drive manual can be pretty useful.

Mercedes-Benz G500

Strange choice for a driving school. Not necessarily bad you'll learn to drive a big boxy car, switching to other models will be easier later.

For me it was a Fiat Punto

Driving lessons was with a Peugeot 308 is think. I also had supervised driving with my parents, I mostly drove my dad's Peugeot Partner (horrible car). When I go my license my parents bought me a second hand Citroën Xantia. This car was awesome 😎.

A dark green '96 Fiat Furtodidati. It was the Frodediidentità special edition, with the extra cupholders.

'84 Grand Marquis

If you can parallel park THAT, you can parallel park ANYTHING!

Driver's Ed: 1986 Chevy Cavalier and it was a horrible brown color.

Parent's Cars:

1986 Buick Skyhawk: Very crappy car. The gas pedal didn't so much produce acceleration, but rather an eventual increase of the angular momentum of the tires.

1970 Chevy Impala: Loved this car. Huge and had a 400cid small block with a 400 Turbo Hydromatic with a 12 bolt posi rear end. It's the car that really taught me how to drive. It eventually ran 13's in the quarter mile.

Learned how to drive manual: 1983 (I think) Ford Escort

REALLY learned how to drive a manual: 1949 Willys Overland. A friend's Dad's car. Why did it REALLY teach me how to drive a manual? Easy, it had a non-syncrho'd transmission, much like the big rigs have. This car taught me rev-matching, double clutching, and an appreciation about how cars really work. It also had a column shifter. Once I learned how to handle the transmission, it was a lot of fun to drive. It made me a much better driver.

The car that taught me how to race (there were two):

1985 Toyota MR-2: Was a friend's car that I Autocrossed (Pro Solo) along with him. He actually made it to Nationals with this car several times. Later he won Nationals with a Supra Turbo. This was in the mid-90's.

1985 Corolla GT-S: This was my car. It was the AE86 platform with the same engine as the MR-2. Absolutely ferocious car. It didn't handle as well as the MR-2, but it was soooo much fun. This car taught me "trail braking" and a lot of other performance driving skills. This remains my favorite car I've ever owned, even to this day. I'd love to find one and restore it.

Ahh the Chevrolet Datamine, it was also my first car!

The family car which was a Vauxhall Cavalier.

Nice way to get the answer to an often used security question!

The color of your first car is a fairly common backup question. Answering this in detail is not recommended.

1991 Ford S10 pickup, on the farm, when I was 8 years old. I only crashed it on the farm once -- in first gear, stopped. Took foot off clutch and lurched forward into the wall in front of me. In my defense, I hadn't been instructed on how to turn it off yet ;)

'78 Toyota Land cruiser troop carrier, down dirt tracks with my father when I was 14.

Ford Econoline van.

Early 80s Chevy Chevette.

It was so basic of a car it was unreal. Manual transmission, no radio, I mean, the damn thing was with a giant riding lawnmower with a hatchback.

Currently learning on a Peugeot e-208 which is electric. Apart from that, it is more or less the same as the manual version.

Ford Focus Mk2, back in 2007. Manual transmission, of course, because automatic lessons were (and still are) rare in the UK.

I honestly don't remember the exact car model or even the manufacturer but it was nothing fancy. Some smallish car with manual transmission and no parking sensors or cameras. There weren't any others to choose from. This was in 2012.

An '84 manual diesel 4-cylinder Isuzu pickup

1998 Pontiac Grand Am.

Fantastic car, thing never broke down. Hell you could drive without an oil change and the thing would keep going. Was pretty much the 90s version of the K-Car.

1982 AMC eagle wagon with woody side panels.

The car actually caught on fire while I was driving, and I was known as the person that smelled like burnt car in high school, because that burning rubber/plastic smell stayed in my books and materials for the entire school year.

It was an ‘86 Renault Alliance. My dad would take me to random empty parking lots to practice. I remember all us kids in the neighborhood were about the same age and it was a major competition to see who could get their license first. I don’t remember who did. It wasn’t me.

Years later, when I was out of the military and starting college, my dad got me a ‘91 Nissan pickup. It was a manual transmission, and I didn’t know how to drive one. He said, “by the time you get it home, you’ll know how to drive a stick.” So I drove it home, and by the time I got it home, I still didn’t know how to drive a stick.

Learned to drive in was over a long time so uhhhh whatever was around when my parents wanted to teach me.

My first car was the old family minivan though. 9x something dodge caravan.

A 1971 Massey Ferguson 135. And yes, that's a tractor. Guess who's got two thumbs and grew up on the countryside?

When learning to drive at speeds greater than 30km/h it was in my dad's 1995 Volvo 940, a car that was later passed down to me, and I drove it until March 2025.

My mom's early 90's minivan. I think it was a Voyager.

Opel Vivaro

A riding lawnmower. Good enough to get the basic hand eye coordination down, so when I drove a real car it wasn't a big deal.

The first actual car I drove was a Toyota sienna.

I dont know but its grey and has four wheels

2004 Toyota Corolla with manual transmission.
