And if you did, what kind of car did you have? Brand new, used, a clunker, a hand-me-down perhaps? Did you pay for it and do you remember how much your insurance was. How cool were you, or thought you were because you had a car? Just asking.

No, I was out of school by the time I had a car. I was actually married before I got a car. We had clunkers back then. I have a 93 Buick now and it runs like a charm... gotta get new tires on it though.

Hey if it runs like a charm who needs a new one. The cost of tires is still do-able. I think.

I didn't have a car in high school. I got my first car after graduating. I bought it on my own too. I thought it would have been very cool to have a car to drive to school.

I guess most of us would have felt cool having a car in high school.

Since I'm older than dirt, it wasn't as old as it might seem now. I bought a 1955 d convertible from the police for $20.00. It had been an undercover car, so it had everything in it they made It also had a specially made engine for chases, so I won drag races with all the boys who thought a girl in an old car couldn'tet anywhere before they hit the finish line! Insurance was $15 a year for full coverage. Gas was 2 gallons for a quarter.

I was, without question, the coolest kid in the neighborhood, in my baby-blue-and-white car! I sold it after having driven it for about four years and well over 75,000 miles, for $350.00!thumbupw00t

Oops! that d was supposed to be at the end of Ford.


myLot reputation of 98/100. gtargirl (1284)   ranked 410 out of 3,486 in life  1 year ago

Whoa!!! That truly sounds like the good old days. Wow! I wonder if we'll ever get 2 gallons for a quarter again? I wish I was there to see you win those drag races. A piece of Americana. And boy did you make a nice little profit when you sold that. Nice!!!


myLot reputation of 95/100. cobrateacher (4277)   ranked 347 out of 3,486 in life  1 year ago

It was fun! It would be great if we could even get gas for le of dollars a gallon again! Incidentally, I made at least a couple of dollars every day from those boys who thought they could out-race me. lol

Ha I don't even have a car now...let alone in high school. I drove around in all my friends beat up junk heaps.

Ah, but then again, it was good to have friends even if they had beat up junk heaps.

Hello gtargirl happy

Yes, I did have a car when I was in high school. I worked and I paid for it myself, however, my father was kind enough to include me on his insurance plan and he paid for that. I felt very fortunate that he did that, and I do not know how much he paid for having me on his insurance, but I imagine it was quite a bit.

I didn't think myself cool at all. It was an older car, and it had the crappiest radio ever invented, but it was my magic carpet and I loved that car.


myLot reputation of 98/100. gtargirl (1284)   ranked 410 out of 3,486 in life  1 year ago

Hi Trans, that's the least I would do for my kids as well. If they are working and paying for their own cars, I should help out with insurance which, I'm sure, is quite a healthy chunk of any paycheck. And by the way, I don't even have a radio in my car. If I did it wouldn't matter since someone just stole my speakers. Such is life.

sad

I'm sorry to hear that your speakers were stolen. That sucks.

I did have a car in high school. I paid for half, my parents paid for half. It cost about $800, and the insurance was kind of expensive- risk pool for inexperienced driverthumbdown. It was kind of a junker, but it got me from A to B-- most daysthumbup. Most of the other kids' cars were nicer, and that bothered me some, though I didn't want to admit it. But I did feel good about having a car.

No, I did not have one. High school students here in the Philippines could not get a license until they are 17. At 17, I was already in college. My mom bought me a car when I was 17 but I was learning how to drive since I was 15. Driving is stressing me out especially when there is heavy traffic.
