Lol im 20 and my first car was an 05 mustang at 16, then traded that for an 08 ram then traded that for my 08 coupe..
deng these kids got it good . . . i say kids lol, i'm only 24 myself, feel like an old man in this thread though. my first car in 2002 was a 1989 mercury TOPAZ (thats right, a 13 year old, economy american car lol) that our mechanic GAVE US just to get it off his property. Can you imagine how proud I was rolling up to my high school with my brand new to me flat paint PoS car:(thats just a google image, but my car was the EXACT SAME except for the front end, had tape on the back, flat (no gloss) paint, dents all over it, foliage inside, lol complete mess)
Then in 2004, when the exhaust fell out the bottom of my topaz, i got an 11 year old mazda 626. The parents picked up that one, I was neck deep in my education at that point, think it was like 1200? lol
Then I graduated, got a job, saved for 6 months, and got my AC, with nothing to trade in . . . and bbooooyyyyyyy do I have an appreciation and new understanding of ANYONE with a new car who purchased it entirely themselves.
Big 'welcome to the real world' eye opener for me haha
