sporty! It took me 2 years just to save $2,000 for a down payment to buy my first car. My parents co-signed. I worked at a bank then who financed payments which were deducted automatically from my paychecks every month and I paid insurance too all on my teller's salary.  

I purchased and totally financed my 2nd car (a yellow Toyota Celica) all on my own; but, another job then. When I had a $400 payment balance, my husband paid it off when we were engaged. We later sold it to a college professor who bought it for his daughter.  I loved the car! Today we own a 2014 Toyota Prius (50 mpg) and it has served us very well here in Florida with no absolutely no problems, knock on wood!

I did not start driving until I was 19.  At first I drove my mom's old Dodge. I have no recollection of the model. (I am not a car person.) The first car I bought for myself was in 1970. I was 23. The car was a 1963 (I think) tan Mercury Meteor.
