1980 Dodge Omni in 1987. Dad bought it for my brother and I to share as a first car. First time driving it, mom was in the passenger seat, and we were in our driveway. It was plenty long enough to drive down before getting to the road. I start the car, give a little too much gas while letting off the clutch. Didn't stall it, and threw a bunch of gravel taking off... a perfect launch! Mom didn't think so and was yelling for me to stop. So I came to a stop, she jumped out and walked all the way back to the house, refusing to get back in the car. She had never learned to drive and was always nervous while riding in a car. I've been driving sticks ever since.
