My dad bought me nothing.He made me earn the money and then buy my own first car.A 1965 New Barracuda 6 banger automagick . I wanted a V8 they made me buy 6.He did cosign for the balance of the loan.
I worked my a-- off paying for the car. I looked after it
like a a show car always. I never abused it because it took a long time to earn the money at $ 1.15 cents an hour.
The only problem I had with the car was I could not keep up
with the others when we went drag racing every night. So I
Traded it in for a 1966 SS 4 speed.
Let them work for it, it will serve you and him well in the long run.
