My dad gave me a 20 year-old car that he bought new but mostly sat around and had only 54,000 miles on it. Everywhere I went, there was some dude who was into muscle cars and would want to talk to me about the engine. I knew absolutely nothing about it. New JVC stereo and speakers.

1980 Ford Bronco.  TomDad bought it new my junior year of high school. 

It became his going to the cow sale vehicle, and i had to haul my sister to school, otherwise i benefited from his position we didnt have time to mess with a used car.  Pretty sure it was a farm tax write off too.

The story of legend is on my 18th birthday my cousin shamed me into going 4 wheeling.  He made fun of me having never had that Bronco off the black top or the front rims locked in.  So we headed to the Clinton Lake area and cut loose late that night and buried that Bronco in a watery mudhole on corps of engineer land (posted No Vehicles allowed $500 fine).  We had to walk 3 miles to his house and sneak the tractor out of the barn to go pull it out with like 3 log chains.  The most scared i ever was about how much trouble i was in.  I had followed in his pick up, friend in Bronco,  and cousin on tractor I thought we were home free driving back to the road.  I ran over a stump and tore the oil filter off his pick up.  Not realizing i was leaking oil drove back to his farm where that pick up was now smoking and sputtering and died right there. So I guess the joke was on my cousin who had to explain to his dad why Tom just ruined the engine on his farm truck.

Frosh year at KState you could not have a  vehicle so my sister became default owner... she hated driving it cause it was a "guys vehicle."

 It had standard rims with plastic wheel covers which i hated.  That sounds unappreciative now looking back, but it was 1980s so big hair and big tires on your truck were in.  Dad said if i mamaged to make it thru first year at KState we would upgrade rims and it was mine.  To everyone's surprise I managed a 3.0 that frosh year so he let me  buy these sweet white rims to go with the red/white paint scheme before heading back to Manhattan my soph year.

The wife and I traded it in on a Isuzu Trooper :( around 1990.  Regret not keeping that bronco every day.

This pic is one that was for sale a few years ago that looked exactly like mine.

I had a 1979 blazer. yellow. incredibly badass. we'd ramp it on like giant dips (where the water runoff goes on the road in rural towns). sheriff pulled me over and yelled at me for it. not like I'm in the driver seat getting yelled at but like "come back to my police SUV so you can get a real yelling at". cool guy though, didn't get a ticket or arrested or anything. we'd also take the top off all the time. my GF rolled the crap out of it one day. I ended up way in the back after doing my best imitation of a sock in the dryer.

Tom, that is incredible
Again this was 1980s.  The first thing my dad did when he got home was have me help pull the seat buckles out of the bench seat so "they dont poke you in the ass." 
 
I do remember putting them back once i was logging miles to and from Manhattan... seat belt laws were just becoming a thing.  I googled it Kansas seat belt law passed July 1986.

Had a white 1996 Toyota Camry that I learned to drive a stick with left handed while my mom drove. Eventually when I started driving it had to switch to right handed. I bought a big ass spoiler to put on the back but never ended up getting it attached.  My second car was the exact same model just tan instead of white.

'95 Civic del Sol. Like this one, except blue with badass decals on the side, and lacking the random cell phone on the hood. Bought it with MY OWN MONEY at 15 and learned how to drive stick on the 40 mile journey home. You literally lift the hard top off and slide it into a special rack in the trunk. The rear window slides down, and there are two hidden, locked compartments behind the seats for storing additional contraband. Also, only two seats, so you usually never got stuck driving the gang around.

My parents gave me the old 1989 Toyota Minivan and I drove it from 16-18. It was a total POS and you could use any random key or even a screwdriver to start it. My friends used to move it to the other side of the parking lot during school.

I would take out the middle/back seats and load up lawnmowers for my lawn business.

It's name was Cletus and my brother drove it after me, finally stopped running sometime after college with around 220k on it.

1985 S-10. My dad bought it for work from the city of McPherson, but didn’t realize it hadn’t been on the highway or gone over 45 mph for 13 years. Gave it to a worker to drive on the highway and quickly cracked a cylinder head. It also still had the “City of McPherson” brightly on the doors from their decals that kept the paint from fading, which he had covered with large business magnets. We split the cost to put in a rebuilt engine from the local engine exchangers and paint/beer money for my cousin to repaint it. I did all the prep work & sanding. It was a manual 4-speed that I had down so good I could shift without the clutch.

For my senior year I upgraded to a 10 year old 91 Ford Ranger for $4,100. Upgraded to A/C, automatic, cloth seats,little pull down side jump seats in the extended cab & added a slide in bed liner for another $200. I felt like it was the height of luxury.

We had a kid 1 or 2 years older than me that everyone called Frog since he was a toddler. He did the same thing, expect it was green and he put a green light kit under it. It was probably 4-5 years after it was cool to do stuff like that. However, I also had a cool HS neighbor that had friends that did stuff like that when I was in 4th grade. Frog did that to his truck kind of tounge-in-cheek and knew it wasn’t still cool in 2000, but it still pulled out that old 4th grader in me and I secretly still thought it was pretty cool.

Jesus, you guys had way cooler cars.  My Dad bought me my first car when I was 15, which was my Grandfather's 1984 Celebrity Eurosport that he was about to trade in.  It cost $2K.  That same summer, he bought himself a $5K John Deere lawn tractor.   :dubious:

We’ve had this convo here before. I don’t know if it’s an Oklahoma/Tulsa thing or a kids these days thing. I know some many people around here who have kids that have little or no interest in getting their license. Most have to force their kids because they’re tired of driving them around.

Also, it seems like teenagers these days are like "meh," when it comes to driving.  I was banging on the door of the DMV before it opened on the first day I was eligible.

We’ve had this convo here before. I don’t know if it’s an Oklahoma/Tulsa thing or a kids these days thing. I know some many people around here who have kids that have little or no interest in getting their license. Most have to force their kids because they’re tired of driving them around.

This exactly here too.

That’s nuts. I was at the DMV the day I could get restricted licenses. I never drove illegally under 16 because I worked for my dad and they would suspend your license 6 months if you got caught. My restricted auto-turn full on my 16th birthday, which was a Sunday. At midnight I drove to Hardee’s because I could.

I have had people down here tell me there are all kinds of rules when you’re under 18 about passenger restrictions & driving curfews so they still have to drive their kids around in the evening anyway. There are loop-holes for mopeds. My wife and I fight over if I can get the girls a moped for when they are 15/16 to drive to school, but I think I’ll lose if the loophole is still around.

Absolutely true of kids these days. They're getting their licences at an older age now. People say one part of it is that they're better connected with friends via technology and don't have as much need to go out.

Take it from me, moped is not a super terrific idea.

'92 white Chevy Lumina Z34, with a bra on the grill most of the time. Handed down to me from my older brother. Used to think it was fun going 75 down a highway at night with headlights turned off. Also went 100 down a dirt road multiple times to see how much air I could get over the hump where the two roads cross. So dumb.

Man some of you guys had some absolute pussy magnets for a first ride.  Me, not so much.  Feast your eyes on the 1983 Mazda 626:

I was obviously forced to drive a ton of ancient f150s for a bit but at like 15 I bought this lightly used POA. got a loan from the local bank. $225 a month. remember the payment coupons. rough ridin' sick. it was fast AF. burnout city. got a clarion cd player and some polk pounders. overdrive pulley on the supercharger. hypertech performance module. flowmasters. holy crap guys. wow.

Ah, the Supercoupe. My brother had one, so I had to find one too. Got mine for $1k, blew it up the day I got it. Those things were neat, but good luck keeping it from blowing headgaskets. They also had a super weirdo cult following.

1970 Chevy Nova. Green with a 307 and automatic. Wasn't nice like this one but I drive it for four or five years.

Then I bought a new S10 extended cab when I graduated from navy nuke school. KSU purple of course(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200413/7c44547931467c4172792a38484b0eb3.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200413/53811ff15b73193ba7c539e83e7c2ab6.jpg)

lmao, I blew three head gaskets. Had the first two fixed and sold it after the third one for $500 (clarion disc player sold separately for $100).

Mine was white with black decals.  Was my parents and I wrecked it while jackassing around on country roads.  They gave it to me wrecked and I had to fix it up.  Drove it all through high school and half of college.

Second was a stepside half ton Chevy I bought in MHK and drove until I was married and made enough dough to buy a new truck.
