I could borrow the family Geo Metro whenever I wanted when I was in high school, but the day I graduated I bought myself a Wrangler. Dream come true at the time.

I bought & paid for it out of my own money at the age of 17, just a month after my birthday. I past my test within 2 weeks of my birthday after taking lots of lessons. I passed first time with the chief instructor of Bedfordshire as my examiner :helpme |

This is the beauty I bough when I was 15 for $300. Blew the engine before I could even legally drive.

My First Car
|
Not mine but very close. 1960 VW I bought for $200 from an old German Tool Maker that was a friend of the family. It was powder blue... I worked for a summer to make some extra cash to get it painted a metalflake green and put on the cragar mags.
Motor was stock...72mph top speed with a tailwind. http://www.bikinipage.com/gfy/1960_vdub.jpg |
'79 Ford F100 stepside - but much more customized than this one.

100 old cars
|
My first ride was a '74 Super Beetle. From the day I bought it, it smelled like gasoline and exhaust whenever I would open up the heater vents. Just figured that's how they were. A few months after owning the car, on my way to school... I saw smoke trailing behind me in the rear view mirror. Figured, huh... odd. A few seconds later, I lose all power. So I pull over, and when I look back again I see flames filling my whole rear view. LOL
Anyway, I was right across the street from a State Farm office... and one of the agents came out and extinguished my fire. The damage cost about $1000. The car cost $1000. One of my first lessons in the costs of car ownership. :) |

I had an old 69 chevelle but since I was making to much money for a kid by playing pool I kept sinking more and more money into it and constantly made it go faster and faster. What were my parents thinking about letting me drive around in a 600 HP car I had built by a guy named Keith Black.

1960 Coupé de Ville 2 door hard top Cadillac that I bought in 1972 in my junior year in high school. I had worked all summer and saved my money. Bought that car for $350 off the original owner -- mine looked like this picture 95% but had a black top. |

My gramps bought it and died a few months later. My granny sold it to me for $240. 24 months of $10 payments. It sat for almost 3 years before I got to drive it. |
