Your first time...

Simple questions:
When/Where was the first time you drove?
What did you drive?


For me:
August 1988, Holsopple PA
1979 Blazer (2-tone red/white)

While I was visiting my Aunt Thelma and Uncle Glen for a couple weeks, my Uncle Glen (who died 10 years later, the day the loan for my 1976 Monte Carlo was approved) took me with to do some errands. On the way back, instead of pulling into their driveway, he turned into the grassy field across the street, parked the Blazer and asked me if I wanted to drive. Naturally, I did. After that, my parents allowed me to move their '81 MC SC (now mine) out of the garage whenever we took that car.

First time? 4 years old on my granddad's lap steering the wheel of his 72 Furd F-100. First time by myself....... when I was twelve, I got to drive my dad's 70 Chevelle down an old dirt road. That car would eventually become mine, get wrecked, & later burn to the ground in a freak accident leaf fire.

They were building the Interstate near us when I was 12 and had it graded and in gravel to prepare for paving and my dad let me drive his new 1953 Furd on the blocked off Interstate. He was, of course, Johnny on the spot beside me. JB

I was 5 sitting on my dads lap driving "my" malibu on some back dirt roads while camping. The next year he let me steer in the drivers seat while sitting in the middle bench seat working the pedals. Never forget that!

FIRST TIME : For me was my uncles 1975 485 HP Laguna I was hooked at 13 should have seen my dads face when he seen I was the one loading my uncles race car onto the trailer LMAO

NEVER forget that day my uncle let me take it down the country road to the neighbors house man that was a blast woot woot

I WAS BORN DRIVEIN

Love that animation. I almost made it my avatar a while back.

haha you guys are all way more exciting than mine...my mom and dad took me over to the high school parking lot and made me drive around my moms 76 volvo wagon for a little bit

I was about 5 years old on my dads lap driving my moms old S10 Blazer 4x4 around my dads yard and through the fields

"I see our time has gotten stale" ... Eve 6 ... 'Inside Out'

I was living in Tulsa about an hour away when it happened. Dad was burning the woods like he does every year to knock down the tick population. Somehow some burning leaves blew under the car & caught a large pile on fire. That then caught something inside on fire & ignited the gallons of primer & thinner. Dad didn't tell me until I came home for a visit. Apparently it was quite the show. I ran up to see the damage & noticed that the fire was so hot it MELTED the glass & entire roof!

The first "thing" I ever drove was a Farmall F12 tractor, in the late 30s The first car was my dad's '28 Buick, during WW2. Hey, that's a long time ago!

"Everything is so messed up" ... Puddle of Mud ... 'Blurry'

No pics. I couldn't bear to look at it, let alone take pictures.

I was 12. My mom let me lose with her Mustang in the industrols. I think I scared her. She said I may want to slow down. I was doing 65 in a 35 zone with lots of turns.
