I started driving tractors and trucks off road when I was 13-14. My first road experience (and actually my brother's and sister's as well) was with my father's '66 Corvette (fret you not, far from original and he drives the hell out of it) because he insisted we learn to drive on a standard shift. It was actually the ideal learning vehicle because it's virtually impossible to stall in any of the 1st 3 gears even if dumping the clutch with no pressure on the accelerator.

Needless to say he created a monster.
