I learned to drive a stick shift on a very forgiving Ford F150 pickup working construction as a summer job. As I was shoveling mud out of the footing trench the foreman came up and said they needed a guy to go pick up supplies and asked if I knew how to drive a stick. The only word out of my mouth was “yes.” I got the truck off the lot and behind the Hardee’s where I could practice without him seeing me. I made it to Kokomo Lumber and back. For the rest of the summer on hot afternoons I drove around Kokomo listening to Vince Lloyd and Lou Boudreau do Cub games on WGN radio.
