My dad got a work truck a few weeks before I turned 16, so my mom took over his car and let me drive the 'family car'. I drove it until my brother wrecked it a month after he got his license when I was 19, lol
The first car I ever bought on my own was a 1988 BMW 325i right after we moved to italy. No power steering, etc. but it was all mine, and the first car I ever owned. Like this, but in black
and now I drive a 2009 ford focus in silver. I had several years in there without a car when DH and I just shared one, lol
