I didn't get my first car till I was 20 - when I was overseas in the Marine Corps...
A 1980 Nissan Skyline that I paid $500 for. The outside was left a lot to be desired (it was green primer - I had planned on painting it but never got past the bondo and primer), but the interior was immaculate...ran like a champ, too!
My grandfather had a body shop, so my first car was a freshly painted '69 Camaro Z28 (the fuel line broke, and it caught on fire, and the previous owner never paid for it)
So, I guess that car doesn't really count. However, my friend Andy had this beat up mustang that was primer grey, and I remember that we had to constantly feed it oil to go anywhere...
Now that I think about it, the gas gauge on my Camaro didn't work, so we were always running out of gas. Also, the alternator was bad, so instead of getting a new one, I just grabbed a battery charger and a long extension cord from my grandfathers shop, and stuck it in the trunk. When the car wouldn't start, we would just take the battery out, get the charger out of the trunk, and go looking for an electrical outlet...
Bragg??? That's funny...airborne??? That's even funnier....Marine Corps.. Hard Core!! it don't get no better... Hey I had a house about 15 minutes from bragg...I miss the Carolinas..
