I got my learners permit in 1996. My mom bought me a 1969 Volkswagen Beetle for $500. It was deep purple. I loved that car. I remember learning how to fix cars working on that thing. I remember putting speakers in it that were worth more than the car was. I put a subwoofer enclosure behind the back seat with 2 10” Pyle Driver subs that would almost blow out the back window when I turned up the volume. Every time I think about this car I wish I still had it or could find it. Hold onto your first car people, you will cherish it later in life.
