[QUOTE="clean hairy, post: 1700478, member: 55223"] My first car was one I found for $75. It was one at the Dealer I worked at and the Customer never paid the repair ticket on it, (I was in high school decades ago when I got this car) My Parents asked if I had $75 to buy it. I had $95 in tha bank and bought the car. The floorboards were rotten enough my feet got wet when going through any puddles on the road of any size. It was a stick shift, and the battery went 2 weeks after i got it, and did not have the money for a new battery. So, i had to always find a bit of an incline to park on, so I could let it roll some to get it started. Never had a thought about asking the parents for money to buy a new battery. Sure, it was rough around the edges, but safe. I felt good I had a car of my own, and never asked the parents for any money to put into it. I guess I am from a lost generation that appreciates what you have, even if it is not the newest and best, because you worked for it and own it. [/QUOTE]
