Yep, I learned on "Ol Blue" - a beater blue Ford Pickup. The floor was rotted out, and you had to be careful in case bees had nested in there (again). I had to stand up to get the clutch pushed down, and when I popped it, I really popped it. When I was too little to do the clutch (like 9 or so), my dad would get it in gear, and hop out. I'd scooch over and steer it down the rows of pine trees that we were clearing. When we got to the end of the row, Dad would hop back in, turn it around and start me down the next row. It's kind of insane, when you think about it. But, I didn't have enough strength to fling trees chunks into the back, and we were all needed to do some of the work. :)
