...my uncle set me in his 1966 VW baja bug in the middle of an empty pasture. The thing had no gas pedal (just a throttle bar with a roller on top), and the clutch barely worked. It took me about 5 minutes of trial and error to get it off the line in first. I didn't manage to get it into second gear until my third time driving it. I think I was 13 at the time.

My first driving experience was fine, nothing remarkable other than me telling my dad to shut up so I can actually pay attention to the traffic. I do however hate driving in the city and much prefer that my Fiance handles that. (TBH she could probably be a decent wheelman or wheelwoman if we are being politically correct.)
Oddly I enjoy driving boats a lot more and I intend on someday getting a pilot's license for small planes.

well that depends if it was legal or not.
Legally (after I got my license, I was calm and collected, and had driven my greatest).
Illegally, my grandfather had an old junker car he let me drive. I took a turn to quickly, flipped the car, and completely wrecked it. Crawled out, took the plate, and walked home. Cops still never figured out who did it.

Umm, I did fine I guess. I don't recall much of it, but I didn't crash my families minivan so I assume I did okay. My mom always told me: "You'll do fine. Don't worry about your driving if you're driving safely, worry about the other drivers.". It still holds to this day. God, people have no idea how to drive in California. I hate driving now.Mr. Google said:
