I can commensurate.

That's the difference between todays youths and past teens. My Dad would have said, "Get a job or walk!"

That's true Larry. I had to get a job when I was 14 so I could start saving up for my first car. Of course on the bright side I appreciated that thing so much I still have it.

Man do I wish I still had my first car.

The only problem is that most women are less than impressed when you mention you're still driving the same car you started with at 16....

My Dad was looking for a Packard, Corvair, Studebaker, Desoto for me. I had started working and he put a limit of $700 on a car , as I had to pay him back in a year. While we were looking at this lot of used old Packards and etc., I looked across the street at the Dealership and saw a 57 Chevy 210. Asked salesman if it was for sale, said it just came in and had to be cleaned. "How much without cleaning?" I asked. $400 bucks was the answer. Well Dad bickered ans we drove it home for $400 taxes and license paid. Paid the old man off in 4 months and had the thing for 4 yrs. Took me thru service and college.
