[DRASTiK]

For me it was when I was 15 and my Dad bought a 1969 Mustang Grande for $1500. It was a rust bucket and he thought it would make a good father-son project. Well his work didn't allow us time together, so it became just a Son project. Then when I was 18 and returned home from Boot Camp as a Marine, he gave me the signed title and we went to the DMV and it became mine on paper. I had already been dumping all my money into it anyways, but it was still special to see it on a legal document. I kept it for six years and then had to sell it for next to nothing after 3 motors and two trannys and about a total of $13000 spent. I sold it for $3500. The rust was getting too bad and I didn't have the estimated $6000 to fix it. That's when I bought my current stang.
