My brother & I built a VW based dune buggy. The bug had been rolled so we threw away the body, cut 14 inches out of the middle, welded up a tube frame and sheet metal body. It was real ugly but it worked. I was 14 and I learned to drive in that thing off road.
When I turned 16 I already had a 1960 VW bug. The driving inspector at the driving license place got in and off we went. He asked me how long I had been driving. I told him two years sir, but off road! I passed with no problems.
My dad gave me a interest free loan for the bug and he paid for my insurance until I turned 18. 100% of all other car costs were on me.
