[QUOTE="Forgalspop, post: 3544700, member: 46636"] This is not about the first stick shift I drove, but about the stick shift I teach all my grandkids to drive as soon as they can reach the pedals. I have nine grandkids and so far four have learned to drive a stick shift with this old pickup. I have one that is 10 and foaming at the mouth to drive the old pickup- perhaps he can this summer? They love running around the property and up and down the country roads. Fortunately it is so remote the sheriff’s dept. rarely comes out that way. Plus being that it’s New Mexico they are pretty laid back. Haven’t tagged for years. This is a 1976 Ford Courier with a Mazda four cylinder with four on the floor. It looks pretty rough, but the engine purrs. The kids have banged into a few things (a tree or two). The body is a whole lot stouter than today’s vehicles,so the mishaps haven’t even put a dent in the ole girl. Anyhow the kids have a bunch of fun and if they decide to become car thieves, at least they will be able steal one with a clutch! :) [ATTACH=full]198357[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
