Default ME too! :-) 4-speed Citroen GS 1220 Club, 18 years old. Continued my learning,

car driving learning that is, on a 5-speed Supra, and finally on a 1985 Corolla which I still own today ;-}

Can shift smoother than a sheet-o-matic, and could shift fast enough to punch a hole behind the clutch pedal or break off the stick shift ;-)

Default 10 yrs old....riding lawn mower....speed shifting was cool!!

Just kidding.

I was about 10 though, the car was a diesel Rabbit. I only stalled once, but it took a while to get used to it.
