My first driving lesson was my dad's Nash Rambler Station Wagon with a three on the tree. Kidda inherited that car after that to take the kids to school after I started driving at 16. Never owned an automatic until I got married and learned by wife couldn't drive a stick. She grew up in Boston and had never driven a car until we got married. After trying to teach her to drive my 5-speed Celica GT (1978), I gave up and purchased her a new Datsun with an automatic. I always called that car old pokey. Flooring it generated a sound like a washing machine on spin cycle, but no perceived acceleration. Still don't like anything with an auto trans.
