Ok, I grewup on a farm, so:
1. Took my driver's test in a 1964 Chevy pickup 3 speed on the column.
2. First stick I ever drove was a tractor about 1960, but, the first vehicle was, again, a Chevy truck with 3 speed on the column. Something around 1960 as well.
3. First car I owned was a 1969 Toyota Corolla, I think is was a 4 speed stick.

Numbers 1 and 2 were the same car. It was a Mazda 1800 wagon, I think a 1971 or 1972. I took my test on my second day of ever driving it....it had a four speed. I passed but there was a note about needing better clutch control.....ha....
My first "owned" vehicle was a 1966 Ford Econoline Super Van. **** carpet and "mood" lighting....yeehaw.
