Same here. You would want to go friend's houses where the parents were not home.

That part is true as well

 

[Tin Man]

my guess would have been a Model T
or a buckboard

Prior to motorized transportation, I did ride horses and bicycles.

He can drive me around in a automatic but he can not drive my 6 speed car for nothing. I don't get it my first car was a 5 speed and got in it and went.

3 at the knee or 3 on the tree whichever anyone has heard.

I learned to drive in a VW bus - manual 4 forward speeds plus reverse and a 67hp flat four-cylinder engine.

When you put that thing into reverse you're skilled at a higher level. They drove very well for what they were.

Hand me down 1988 Dodge Caravan.

85 Pontiac Fiero was my first car . I bought it myself for $600 .

 

[WestTennesseeFox]

For sure

Probably not as much fun today with all the external security cameras in place.

2nd car was a 95 Pontiac Sunfire.

tl;dr
I was driving a 73 Pontiac Catalina and a 76 Toyota pickup around some of the neighborhood roads when I was too young to do so. The Catalina was an automatic, and the Toyota was a 4-speed.
My first car was an 85 1/2 Ford Escort, base model (all I could afford) five speed, no power steering, no air conditioning. AM radio I upgraded to a Kenwood. The car was black with maroon interior. I put over 175,000 miles on that car. I loved that machine for a lot of reasons. Nobody told me I needed power steering, an auto transmission, or AC, and I didn't know the difference.
I snagged a 1979 Grand Prix about the time I got rid of the Escort and put about 150,000 miles on it. The Grand Prix I sold to a friend of the family, and I still see it on the roads.
Now, I could kick myself in the a$$ for getting rid of both those cars, if for no other reason than you actually rolled up the dam windows and there wasn't a switch to break (the Grand Prix switch never broke or shorted out).
I had an 87 Grand Marquis I miss a lot.

Gotta be careful though, that's how we all ended up cousins in Kentucky

 

[Tin Man]

My wife drove a base model Saturn (manual transmission, no power anything, but it had AC) until I bought her a Honda Civic (she picked it out) on her 50th birthday. She’s still driving that car (scheduled maintenance, nothing has every broken on that car). She won’t be deterred. Another 150,000 miles is her reckoning.

I learned to drive a three-on-the-tree in a 67 Chevy step-side and three-at-the-knee in a 47 Willys.
