The first vehicle I ever drove (on the street) was my Dad's '51 Chevy pickup.  The shifting linkage would always "lock up".   He kept a hammer under the front seat for that.   You'd have to pull over, raise the hood, and wack the "knuckles" on the linkage until they popped back in place.

The first car I ever drove was his '51 Chevy sedan.  He let me back it out of the garage the fist time I tried to drive (he must have been drinking).  I creamed one side of it on the edge of the garage door. 

I once owned a Renault Le Car...it was smaller than an omni...i bought it from XMC when we sat in the car it was so tight we sat with our shoulders touching.....

Heres one of those fancy gadgets that i miss.....the ford supercab that i owned had the old 3 on the tree.....it was the coolest thing..i had never driven one when we got the truck ....i had to ask my dad how ya shifted one.......
