Reply #192: My parents sold the car I bought [View All]

[Xithras]

My first car was a 1972 Camaro that I bought myself at 16, with money I'd saved for nearly two years. About a year after I bought it, my dad found out I'd been drag racing it on public streets and he immediately took the car away. He sold it about a week later for about $500 more than I paid for it, and he did give me the money, but he made it clear that I simply wasn't responsible enough to drive.

My parents did end up letting me purchase another car several months later, but with the caveat that THEY picked the car. I ended up with a 1964 VW Beetle. I never raced it :)
