Time Travel Bus: And You Landed in 1979

1976 BMW 2002. I had a 280z but couldn't afford insurance after a speeding ticket. Fun car but need more power and a 5th gear

In 1977 my dad found out he had a heart condition and gave me lessons on how to drive his car just enough to safely pull it over on the side of the road -- or up to a gas station where there was a payphone to call for help. I was still several years away from getting a drivers license, but I was big enough to physically fit behind the wheel and reach all of the controls of his 1977 Subaru station wagon, red, four-wheel-drive ( it was great in the snow.)

PS: It was a 4- speed stick shift,
so yes I actually learned to drive a manual transmission car (at least in first thru third gears) when I was about nine years old,
practicing on Sunday mornings in the parking lot of a warehouse that had no activity on Sundays.
 
Lost my Cougar to a hit and run Con Ed truck. Bought my dad's Dodge Dart with the 225 co slant six!

My second car was a 1964 Plymouth Valiant with that 225 slant six…. like the 318 V-8, the 225 was "bulletproof"


There's nothing better than getting paid to look out the window....
