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.

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

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.

I'd just get an old one. The new ones are too bulky.
