So did you drive the farm pickup or family car? Did you be so fortunate as to be given a car/truck by parents? Or did you get your own wheels? There was no secret in our house that if you wanted a car, you were on your own. Mom and dad were not going to help pay for or pick out anything for the five of us, and sure as heck weren?t going to pay our insurance either. I couldn?t wait to get my hands on the wheel. I worked for a dairy farmer down the road, and had my own bank account, so as quick as I turned 16 , I bought my first car, and soon had my drivers permit. Not sure folks were too pleased with me, cause now they never knew where I was, and what I was up to. This did cause some friction for me at home. So day after I turned 18 , I was gone.
