another age-related survey.
If you took driver's ed, what year, your age, what vehicle did they have?

1964, 15, 1956 4-dr Chevy sedans still painted olive drab (old army staff cars)

I'm sure Fort Bliss made the school district a heckuva deal.

OMG! Let me see, 1977, and while I don't remember just what the car was it was made by AMC... scary, huh?

dude, I rode in a new '49 Hudson (your ID hudson reminded me) with my aunt and uncle when I was a baby in 1949, El Paso to Wyoming in winter. It gave me a black eye later. (quick-stop in parking lot, 4-yr-old girl hit wood dashboard with face, seatbelts decades in the future).

Aunt's next car was a '61 Rambler (AMC) wagon. Push-button auto tranny. My folks got a sedan like it when I was in HS. Later in the 70s they got a Pacer or two (AMC, maybe your Driver Ed car???). Scared the fool outta me when they came to town, riding in it/watching them drive it. Whoaa. Thx.

damn yall are old

YEA FUH SHO!!!! hahahahaha dang lets see i took drivers ed in 2003 haha in a.....dodge stratus or intrepid i believe.

oh yea i was..........i think 18? yea 18

yuh, i drove a Toyata 4runner for drivers ed, and the accelerator was so sensitive that if u didnt press the gas with just your big toe, u would go flying into the dashboard.

1984 in Beaver Creek OH. I was 18. We had an AMC Concord and three Ford Tempos. I feel cheated!

well im not a scientist but if you press the gass with more force=more acceleration which equals putting you back in your seat not to the dashboard

2001, Riverview highschool sarasota. 2001 Ford Focus Sedans and at the end of the year zx5's.

I was destined to have a focus.

wow, you so totally bonded to the Focus thang. good on you, my child.
Bless you. Claudia

1999, I was 17, Oldsmobile Intrigue and a Cutlass, with my drivers ed teachers golf clubs in the trunk. On a side note, wouldn't it be nice to have one of those passenger side brake pedals when you ride along with other people sometimes?

2001 in the current Oldsmobile sedan.

1965, in a '65 Ford Galaxie. The instructor was the school principal and more than once he put that damn brake pedal to use! Of course, that was only a formality. I'd been running the back roads for several years before that!

It was 1967. I was 15 1/2, and the driver's training cars at school were brand new 1967 Plymouth Fury III 4-door hardtops. (If you saw the Mythbuster's "pole-vault a car with a driveshaft" episode - it was just like that one) The car at home I was learning on was a '63 Ford Falcon Futura 4-door sedan.

<<Later in the 70s they got a Pacer or two (AMC, maybe your Driver Ed car???).>>

Nah, I woulda remembered a Pacer. Someone else mentioned the AMC Concord. Probably we had something like that... 4 doors, sensible...
Might well have been the same car a student took out a fire hydrant with in a snow storm the next year. Actually, more like the hydrant took out the car, the hydrant won for sure!

2003, Chevy Malibus and Silverados and got to drive around town with my hippy geography teacher and listen to Metalica. [headbang]

1987, High School, 1987 Caprice Classic. Talk about PUGLY!

i'm 17 now, and and laughing with glee, cuz the new drivers ed fleet consists of nothing but Pontiac Montanas. Suckas

in 2001, took drivers ed in a black zx3 focus

Wow! I havent thought of this in years. I got lucky, i know that they arent that great now, but when the new Trans-Ams came out in like '83, we had a couple of them. Of course they were auto's but back then, that was awesome to have drivers ed in a Trans-Am. The one i drove was Black and reminded me of the KIT, from Knight Rider (really showing my age here, lol). The dealership i believe were trying to get the kids attention by supplying them to the school. There were several sold that year to kids at my school, lol.

I feel for you Doug, what a Tank!lol

Took it in 1995, Just before I turned 16.

Drove a 1993-1994 v6 Camaro.

And if you went over walking speed you had to get out and spend the rest of your time walking the course holding a steering wheel in front of you.

^^LOL^^

^^^ x2! WTH are you supposed to learn at walking speed? And you'll learn even less walking with a steering wheel in your hand...

2003? i think...in a crapalier that wasn't worth a damn, and a ford ranger edge edition..
