It was a bright red 1957 VW Beetle. I paid $300 for it. It had a 37 HP engine with a 6v battery under the backseat and over 300K miles on the odometer.
It wasn't much but it was MINE. This one is much nicer but you get the idea.

Gorgeous, LonePalm! Nothing beats the feeling of driving the first car you paid for yourself off the lot. King/Queen of the World in that moment!
Mine was a 1951 white bug. 200.00. The rear bumper came home in the back seat. But it was mine.
