For me it was a 1976 yellow-beige Mustang. I'm pretty sure it didn't have power steering and I don't think it had power brakes either. I'm not sure if it had an FM radio or not. That thing was like driving a tank. Parallel parking that beast was a pain. Even opening and closing the doors was a chore since they weighed about 100 pounds each.

A tractor on the ranch when I was about 10. If you hit something, you had to fix it. Later on driving pickup trucks when I could barely see over the dash.

My first car was a 1967 Mustang which I purchased when I was 14 so my Dad could help me fix it up. It was a great car, one I wish I still had today, unfortunately the battery went flying into the fan and it got an electrical short that I never could find so I had to sell it.

Learned to drive and took my driver's test in it. Damn thing was as long as the parallel parking space and you had to turn the steering wheel about 47 times to turn the wheels all the way.

The first time I ever drove, my dad woke me up from a cold sleep and I crawled into the drivers seat of his van while still in my underwear.

The car I took drivers ed in was a Buick LeSabre.

The car I took my drivers test in was my mom's Toyota Echo.

My first car and the car I really -learned- to drive in, was my 1991 Chevrolet Cavalier station wagon:

When I was 16 my brother bought a 1956 Chevy, two door, black over white, and gave it to me. He felt sorry for me having to ride my bike to school all the time.

My brother flunked his driving test because he left the parking brake on the entire time.

Faulty parking brake, dude? Ask around for a lawyer.
