I don't wanna get anybody in trouble (or grounded) but it looks to me he's a little more familiar with that '65 Chevelle than Dad thinks! Like maybe after Dad goes to work or something!

Re: 16 yr old learning the manual transmission
 

I never had anything that cool to learn a manual trans on!!! Mine had manual steering and manual brakes, but it just so happened to be in a '52 Ford stake bed with a Flatty that burned more oil than gas!!!! Of course, I was 8 when I was learning and my biggest obstacles were rock outcroppings and cows!!! As I grew up, the funnest truck we had was a '61 Ford F-100 4x4 with a 3 on-the-tree! Used to make that straight 6 scream then nail 2nd. Again, never had anything cool like that to learn on!!!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Hay Russel, don't feel bad, my old man never owned a V8 untill I joined the Navy, he thought a Chevy 6 was the greatest thing since sliced bread.
He would let me drive the 60 VW ( all 36 hp https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif )in the empty lot next to our house, I never once had a driving lesson from him, one day after washing the Bug, he said go ahead and take it around the block. I think I was 15.
All the other kid's in our hood made fun of us cause we were the only ones without a cool car.

It's good to see some kids today get the feel of what it was like to drive these cars back in the day.I was a 17 yr. old myself when my brother showed me the ropes on my 72 Nova SS by driving around our subdivision before i could go on the road.
