I was allowed to use one of my parent's cars...

Of course they owned 6 cars with 4-5 licensed drivers, so there was laways a car to use😀

 
No. I got to share the station wagon with my mom. Didn't buy a car until I was 18, and even then it was a 14 year old Mercury Topaz.
 
I told my parents to buy me a new car and the laughed at me.. said I would just have to walk.

So, saved my money for years and bought me a spiffy '92 beige Plymoth Aclaim.. I was stylin in that thing, tape deck and all.

 
well then there's my friend who got a brand new E500 w/ 20k brabus kit... yeah his dad's loaded... the kid is pretty much a dick now though, its gone to his head
 
I got a new car my senior year in high school: a '96 GMC Sierra extended cab.

Until then, I either borrowed one of my parent's cars or got a lift with someone.

I'm 16 and have two vehicles - an '88 GMC Vandura 2500 conversion van that I'm re-converting into a pimpin' ride, and a '77 GMC Sierra Grande 2500 pickup that I'm trying to rebuild into somthing street legal.

But I know 16 year olds with brand new:
BMW Z8
Mustangs
Lesser BMWs
Jags
Corvettes
Lesser ricemobiles
Compact pickups.

This is primarily a rich kid area.
 
No. At 17 after I got out of college my dad loaned me $1900 for my birthday. I was proud as hell when I paid that off 6 months early. Then the car blew up. 😛
 
I got my mom's 9 year old Accord because she got a new car. And I was thrilled to have it (as anyone who ever heard me talk about that car well knows). I still miss it sometimes.

I got a hand me down

250k miles 91 Toyota Corolla DX.

I loved that car like no other, but it was starting to have small problems here and there after I gave it some good 2 years.
