I bought my first car ('84 VW Scirocco, in 2003) and taught myself how to drive stick on the ~90 mile drive home. In the snow no less...that was fun!

I've only owned 1 car with an auto and probably never will again if I can avoid it.

I learned when I bought my car in downtown Baltimore. Then got lost on the one-way streets. haha that was an interesting drive home

learned on a dodge ram 50 4x4 and perfected on my sisters 85 eta.

Learned on my oldest sister's '81 CJ-7, soon after she got it at age 16... I was probably around 12. Took it out soon after my dad got it for her and everyone was gone (I lived on a big circle street :))

learned on an 1981 nissan datsun it was the best fucking car ever 4 speed.

Learned on an 02 Bettle Turbo with the 6-spd.

Then I got to drive my dad's friends 325iX in Moscow, where he taught me a thing or two :)

All the cars I've ever owned (3) were automatic - but the first stick I ever drove was a POS Mk2 jetta, a perfect car to learn in because it was worn out and worth nothing. Then I had to drive a new Hyundai Accent (god what a POS, and it was scary as hell in the rain). I'd also driven an 05 WRX and a 1991 300zx.

My skills were honed in the E30 though. basic shifting was easy with the smooth getrag and 4.10s (it's nearly impossible to stall my car). however controlled shifts are more difficult. Now I can heel/toe downshift as a matter of reflex rather than a concious decision - it took a lot of practice, but I don't feel bad as my car has only been manual for a year and a half. Most people I know who can drive stick have no idea what heel/toe even is..

I learned on my dad's mint '66 Mercedes Benz 230sl 4 speed. My dad's reaction was priceless the first time I got the car moving...probably because I lit up the rear tires!
