I was 14 and starting High School. My first car was a '51 Chevy. It was a hand-me-down from my brother. I paid him $50 for it since he was going off to college and didn't want to take it. I remember spending about $5 a week for gas going back and forth to school. My buddies would pitch in for gas on the weekends for football games or outdoor theatres. I was typically the chauffeur since I was the only one with a car in my "circle".By the time I was 15, I had bought my own car, a '51 Olds 4-door.
I got the use of my folks VW bus with a stick. My friend had the use of his folks VW bus with an automatic. We'd pull up side by side at a light and drag race them..... no one noticed.1983 volvo wagon stick shift. I failed the first test due to a rolling stop at a stop sign before we even left the parking lot. Passed the second time. 2 weeks later pulled over for speeding on the highway and lost my license for 3 months. Do you know how hard it is to speed in a 1983 volvo wagon?
