I didn't come from a big money family. Any car I bought I bought with my money. The first drivable car I had was Yellow 51 Plymouth wagon that had only been rolled once. I got me about 10 miles before it threw a rod. It then became a donor car for my next set of wheels, a 49 Plymouth 2dr that had hit a power pole. I bought that for $45. From here the list goes on and on.
