LEARNING TO DRIVE

HOW DID YOU LEARN TO DRIVE? WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST CAR LIKE?

Gramps taught me to drive. Once when traveling at night, he became drowsy, so I drove. We came to our turn off (there were no previous signs), so at my regular speed, I made a left/right angle turn. Good thing there was a gas station there. I made a broad turn and slid on the gravel. Gramps, of course, woke up and said "pull over, I'm awake now". We changed sides and proceeded down the road. I heard a muffled cry and looked in the back seat. John was only a couple months old and standing on his head in his blankets.

Our first car was a 1933 Olds. We bought it just before we were married.
