    Mom purchased my first car (96 Geo Tracker) from carmax for way too much money, and I slowly paid her back by 18 heh.

    My parents made my down payment, and a couple of payments on Sporty Accordy. Then when I lost my job last summer, my parents made my payments for me while I was looking for a job. But tha 3.2CL Type-Sexy is all mine. Totally in my name. Not even a co-signer.

    lol, dunno if i really wanna let this out...but traded a cow and two loads of chicken shit to a neighbor for a 4wd Chevy Luv, "my" first vehicle. yeah, com'n! ...The cow prolapsed and died a couple months later. The '69 Chevy flatbed dually was the most fun, also had the willy's jeep on a CJ5 chassis and the dune buggy built from a vanagon chassis.

    I could legally drive solo under 16 with a farm permit, just had to throw a bag of feed or salt block in the back and I was good to go anywhere. I paid the insurance on the truck for a year but a few months after getting my real license the parents "financed" a $2k first gen integra...I started paying the insurance on it and gradually paid them back for the car. Then the world of imports opened...
