Boy times sure have changed I remember asking my Dad if I could have a car. I will never forget his words. "Son, you can a have a car when you can pay for it outright, the license plates and the auto insurance". That is how it turned out. I bought and paid for the twelve year old car when I was starting my junior year. When I left for the military, I had to leave the car at home. It was parked in one of my Mom's two gardens (her strawberry and raspberry patch) in the back yard. After a few months, my dad sold it. He may have tired from Mom asking him to dig a new second garden for her berries.

Transition to my two daughters years later. I bought each of them a one year old car, paid for the plates and the auto insurance at the start of their high school senior year.

I am quietly observing what my youngest will do with her two kids when the time comes. I'm through buying cars, just contributing to the college funds.
