My first was an 88 ranger. First time I ever drove by myself I was on a back country dirt road. Being alone I was driving fast, having the *** end kick out, up till I started goin down a hill around a curve and a ups truck was coming up it. Well being a dumbass kid, I slammed on the breaks. Started fish tailing bad, ended up doing a 180 and hitting a Grader pile getting truck up on two wheels. Damn near rolled it. A year later we traded it off along with my dads 88 ford bronco for my 98 ranger

Was your dad pissed you nearly destroyed that truck? Thats a cool story!

I learned to start driving at 7 years old in my dads lap. Tje day I asked him if I could drve for the first time, we were riding in the cow pasture in his 2000 (90s square body style) crew cab chevy dually pulling an empty 32 footer cattle trailer. I asked him of I could drive, and he scooted back his seat, lifted the steering column, and told me to hop on his lap. I meant after we unhooked it, but I wasnt about to turn down the chance to drive after asking to, so I jumped imto his lap smiling ear to ear. I brought my dad and then ten year old brother closer to heaven that day. I did not know you were supposed to turn wide when you were pulling a trailer, and I was barely able to see in the gap between the top of the steering wheel and the top of the dash. I still remember that like it was yesterday. One thing I really liked about that truck thoe was the power seats. They are great when you turn nime and get to drive with dad in the passenger seat.
