Think my parents were glad they didn't have to teach me to drive since they had Driver's Ed in school. My dad did help me buy my first 4 cars.

In 76 got a 68 Ford Country Squire Station Wagon for $1.00.
In 77 after graduation got a 71 Plymouth Satellite Sebring Plus (sleeper hot rod) for $1400.
In 78 got a 71 Audi 100LS for $1000 (date car).
Summer of 78 got a 64 Ford Window Fan for $600. (used for lawn mowing business, no trailer) also came with a new set of tires I put on the Audi.

A little after getting the Van gave the Station Wagon to my oldest brother.

After college all I had left was the Audi and it didn't run, sold the Plymouth and Van (no student loan).

Started working and traded the Audi that didn't run for a 77 Cutlass Salon that did.

Glad my Dad helped me get the $1 junker wagon. Not only was it cheap, didn't have to worry about wrecks. In fact, had two, the engine caught fire once and you couldn't even tell. Told everyone if it ever got stuck or quit running I would just walk off an leave it.
