Re: The first driving expierience

Other than the tractors on the farm, I cheated and got an Iowa farm permit at 12. I spent my summers in Iowa with my dad and family so it was a long shot to get. I drove my dads Mazda 323 pos with a stick to the store and got cigs. Remember those days? Hi I need some Marbalo Red box, here is my note.
I was driving a truck with 3 on the tree here in LV when it locked up in traffic. Ripped it right off in a panic. Lucky the part store was right there.
When deployed to Japan I had not driven a stick in a while so getting back to driving a manual was one thing but to be right hand drive was another. Lets just say the first curb was a wake up. Depending on make of truck you be on the other side.
