While I was in high school, we shared cars in our family. My dad worked for a company who manufactured batteries (they were used in many space flights like the Apollos) and we owned an electric golf cart that I had to drive to school sometimes too. So embarrassing!
I'm going to seriously date myself here...when I got out of college and proclaimed that I was moving to Arizona, my dad bought me a USED 1979 Toyota Corona. I paid him back and 3 years later traded it in for a brand new 1986 Toyota Corolla GTS.
You can see a pic of the Corolla and all the cars I've run out of gas in here on my blog
