    my dad's audi is a tiptronic which is quite fun, because, if you screw up, it shift automatically at the redline, and you never have to downshift, you just pull up to the stop and it does it for you

    mom's 9-5 HOT Aero is auto

    dad's Expedition is Auto

    Dad's 1969 Chevy Half Ton is i belive a 4 speed, not sure
    He came dancing across the water
    With his galleons and guns
    Looking for the new world
    In that palace in the sun
    On the shore lay Montezuma
    With his cocoa leaves and pearls

    My first ride was the Opel Kadett 1.7d Van (2 seater), back 1989. I was still 11. My father had a small business and I used to spend my holidays working, helping his workers to unload materials from the vans. One day I was with this guy who worked for him and we stoped at a large place where the ground was gravel to collect money from a client. The van was brand new. I thought something like "I have the theory to drive, so I have to try!" I started smoothly but then front wheels stoped in a transversial hole. To take it out I had to accelerate a bit harder. It should have been a bit...
    I pressed hard and finally got out in a drag race mode, spinning wheels a lot.
    Drove for about 30 meters and stopped grinning like a fool. The guy asked me how the van went there but being the boss's son I had the right to remain silent!
    Money can't buy you friends, but you do get a better class of enemy.

    I killed the Renault 4 (first car ever drove) gearbox when I wanted to put the fifth gear at 80 km/h who was the reverse (there is no 5 gear in this gear box). I tried to put it because I was switching between the R4 and a Passat TD all the time!
    This car rusted so quickly but was the best on the snow!
    And the seats were so badly design you were legs paralysed after a 2 hours trip, that was insane!
    But I had a lot of fun with it (Handbrake was sadly in the front wheels!).

    I think the first car I ever drove was a Chevy Cavalier or something like that, when I was 9 or 10. When I reached legal driving age, the first car I drove was an old Dodge Caravan. Learned stick on a Toyota Tercel.
