What kinds of vehicles did you learn how to drive in?

I started learning at age 17 in 2006. At home, it was my parents' 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan. That thing was a total nightmare for someone learning how to drive, with its poor rear visibility and crappy handling. For Driver's Ed class at school, it was a Ford Taurus which was way better for a learner.

An old beat up M-38 Army Surplus Jeep. Made in the early 50's and Dad used it as his hunting vehicle.

@Ontheroad I bet that would’ve been fun to drive.

@bijouxbroussard It definitely was... especially for a kid of about 13. He would let me drive it when we were out running up and down the hills and valleys where he liked to hunt near San Miguel, CA. Nothing much out there for me to run into 😁. Plus, while I was learning to drive, I got to imagine I was a soldier looking for the enemy. Took me a long time to figure out he taught me to drive that thing so he could have a chauffeur 🤣 - worked out for both of us.
