1963 Mercury 4 door midsize something or the other. It was a field car with the front doors missing, 6 cyl and automatic. I traded an old Kawasaki dirt bike that needed a rebuild even up but had to pay $25 to have it towed to our farm.

I was 14 and this was all unbeknownst to my parents. We had about 20 acres and Dad didn't farm that anymore so it was all trees, bushes and pasture. I hid it in the upper / back area where there were lots of bushes. Took a hand scythe and cleared basically a hollowed-out weed covered 'garage' tunnel that I would drive it into. You couldn't see it from any angle unless you purposely walked around back into the briars and bushes.

Then, when my parents were gone I would take it out in our neighbors adjoining field and just have a ball. I knew that if I started running around on our own property it would be too obvious.

I was able to pull that off for almost an entire Summer until I got bored with that and then started driving around the back dirt roads where I promptly ran it through a creek bed and got it stuck. Well it was really stuck to the point of needing a tractor to pull it out. This was about a 1/2 mile from our property back in the woods of someone else's place.

By that point I was bored with it and decided to just leave it. That thing sat there for almost a year before anyone discovered it, occasionally I would ride by on my dirt bike to see if it was still there. I don't know if anyone was the wiser including my father.
