16 for my learners permit, I got my official drivers license at 17 and got my first car around that time to which was a ‘93 Mercury Grand Marquis.
My mom had upgraded her car and gave me her old beater that was still hanging on by a thread. Only one of the power windows worked, the transmission was about to go out, paint chipping and fading off the exterior, the roof liner was separating from the roof. It was a real piece of shyt, but I was just happy to have wheels at the time. That car opened up so many opportunities for me to go see females which was one of the main things on my mind along with playing ball during those years.
