1984 Friends Audi 5000 Quattro popped my cherry.

1996 Honda Accord LX learned how to make things smooth.

1996 Nissan Maxima. terrorized the neighborhood and other drivers. 6.6 sec 0-60 was fast enough but slow enough to keep me alive.... = )

Convertible Mustang GT, SN95 version, for me. It was kind of scary being 15 without a permit learning to drive a stick... haha

Some French cars, BTW, years ago, had FOUR-on-the-tree, but I don't ever remember trying one.

I drove floor mounted manuals in England, left handed and a fun challenge too. Loved it regardless.

Ford Model 8N. I was 6 years old in the barnyard. Never had a DD auto until the IS350 in 2006.



The first road going car I manually shifted was a 1968 Mercedes 250, much like this one:



I've owned a LOT of manuals since then, but won't buy another one for a lot of reasons.
