My parents never bought me a car. My choice was to either ride my bike 2 miles to the train station to pick up my dad’s powder blue AMC station wagon and then be there to pick him up when he got off the train, or buy my own car. Eventually I bought a 1967 Nova for $125, which burned as much oil as gas. My dad’s first words were “You’re not parking that P.O.S. in front of my house.” So, I actually kept it at my neighbor’s house because they had a pole barn in the back yard. I had a friend who was a mechanic, and he helped me rebuild the engine. The rest is history.
