Well the vehicle I learned to drive on was a 87 ford F-350 Five Speed, with a 6.9 diesel in it. My first truck was a 78 Ford F-150 with a Four speed auto, and a 400V8, that thing would run. 4x4. Plan was to rebuild it, and make it nice. Bought that when I was fourteen. Then I bought an 86 Full size Bronco 4x4 with a 302 and an auto.

Sold the Truck when I bought the Bronco. Then I drove the bronco for a year or so, actually drove dads 00' SD PSD more than the bronco though. Then at the age of 17, I sold the Bronco.

I bought a 95 F-350 Reg Cab, Lifted 9 inches riding on 37's. It had a 460 that was crankin about 425 horse. It had a five speed manual in it. Problem was it got 5 mpg. Sold it after a year right before college and bought a 97 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder. Turbocharged 2.0 L. With a five speed manual. Drove it for a year got tired of the car, and wanted a truck again. So then I bought my SD. Which I am planning on having for many years.

My first car was a white over seamist green 57 Chev Belair 2 door post with a 3 on the tree...Paid $250 for it from the original owner in 1968.

Course it wound up with a 396 and a 4 speed...
The babe magnet was a 54 TR2. You couldn't keep them out of it. Something about a sports car...


Learned to drive ( I should say steer) in a hay field in an old IH 2 ton flat bed. My uncle put in compound low and dropped the clutch. I had to slide off the seat to put the clutch in and the brake. That thing went so slow you could jump out, run around it and jump back in.
