Maybe I should get a compact pickup #truck as my first stick shift #car. It'd be very useful for cargo carrying (motorcycle, bicycle, etc. stuff), and passenger capacity wouldn't matter since it we already have a car for that.

I also originally learned to drive in a compact pickup back in the day.

Motorcycle is very likely to be too long and too heavy for a compact pickup. Heck before my bike got stolen, the only way it would fit in a six foot bed with the toolbox installed was diagonally standing upright.

Yeah, now I'm thinking a two-door, manual F-150 of the same era.

That might be a hard sell, since you're asking for the least popular configuration by a wide margin. The extended and doublecab versions in automatic are far more common than the stripper spec landlord special.

I want to learn stick shift but I need it to be in something I can destroy.

I wish my dad still had his really old brown truck with no seatbelts that was beat to shit, it would have been perfect. I regret not asking back then. He only used it to move stuff around between the garage and the barn.
