    Damn. I got a beater car that had been handed down from my grandparents to my parents, to my older brother and then to me.

    No, it was surprisingly reliable. And very maroon. Maroon door panels, maroon vinyl dash, maroon velour seats.

    I got a 1971 Cruiser so I was spoiled too, of course mine needed a new motor and guess who to install it? After they earned the cash to buy the motor from the salvage yard. But I would not trade a minute of that time for anything. First time my Dad offered me a beer as we were eating microwaved Circle K burritos at 1:30ish am. I got a photos of it somewhere, ... I think. My Dad, in his defense, thought I would go easy on the land cruiser after doing all the work. Me, I figured out that I could always repair the thing on my own. LOL

    Looks great, but don't get upset when he dents and scratches it. 16-18 is a pretty high learning curve for all things driving.

    One of the perks of rural living, he’s been driving cars/trucks/ATVs since he could reach the pedals. Plenty of experience behind the wheel already.

    It gets easier each generation. :)

    I was offered use of the 10 yo AMC Sportabout. Use mind you, not ownership. I opted to spend $625 of hard earned tip money on a ‘72 El Camino. That was some of my best spent money ever. High school, bench seat, need I say more?
