Thread: Your First Time Behind The Wheel?

Great thread!

About a block away from our house was a small used car lot. The owner was a crotchety old retired ex-policeman. He'd go to the auction and come back with some real odd balls. What he had rarely ran worth a darn but he loved each one of them... He hated to part with'em too! Crazy for a used car salesman.. Anyway, his 2 sons each had a hot rod, the older one, Bobby, had a sweet little 32 pickup and the other one, Jimmy, had a 32 Coupe. Both were chubby powered... So the neighborhood kids of age all hung around there of course!! We would all claim a car as "ours", Mine had been sitting on the lot awhile, it was a 63 Ranchero, 6 cylinder, 3 on the tree, a real cream puff as the say. Every once in awhile the owner Benny would have us ( me and 3 friends) bring all the cars to the back of the garage and wash'em and make sure they were cleaned in and out. After a few hours of washing cars we'd have to put them back out front in a new line up.. we were all 14 or15 at the time. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/64/2b...6247ad9878.jpg This one is much sweeter but the same basic car.. Now If your asking about the first vehicle.. I was driving farm trucks when I was 10, usually plodding around a hay field putting up a load. I had to sit on the edge of the seat to push the clutch down enough to release.. I had my own tractor, a 1955 Tiger, built in Keyser WV. I owned it into the early 2010ish years..
