When did you get your first car?

 I bought my first car in 1965 when I was 12 years old, it was a 1965 Plymouth 4 door sedan.  I bought the car for 35 dollars from either my brother or some neighbors, can’t remember which.  I could only drive the car in the fields around our house and NOT on the road…right!  I put seat belts in the car and would pick up the neighbor boys, Tub and Ike Bonsen and go racing through the fields… It was fun.  When I would get stuck, which was very often my Grandpa would take the John Deere tractor and pull me out.  We lived next to a marsh and there was always places that were wet.  Funny thing I don’t remember asking if I could buy the car, I just did it.  Can’t remember getting in trouble with Mom and Dad but the neighbor’s Mom raised holy hell when I had her boys with me…. Dust flying as we zoomed through the fields… It was an automatic with push buttons on the upper left side, man I loved that car…
