I've been driving since about 1969. Cars and pickup trucks mostly, though I've driven commercial vehicles with up to 14 wheels. These days I'm pretty much in 'Mini-Van Land'.
My first experience with a manual shift was with my first motorcycle. I learned to ride it by going around and around the garage, before venturing out off of the property.
My first wreck in a car was a minor one, which put my rear bumper up onto a concrete post which was guarding a culvert, and my rear wheels were up off the ground. I had to be towed. Very embarrassing, considering that it was right in front of my high school, with many eyes observing. How did this particular wreck occur?
I was racing another guy. In reverse.
