I didn't own a car in High School. I graduated in 1981, but in 1980 and 81 I was driving my parents cars when they'd let me. One was a 1980 Mazda 626 and the other was the 1980 Mazda B2000 pickup (essentially a Ford Courier). Eventually they bought a V.W. Bug but my brother mostly drove that. Soon I went to college and bought my first car in 1982 - A 73 Dodge Charge SE with a 383. Within 2 months that engine blew, and was eventually replaced with a 440 magnum. 6 months later, the car ended up under a flat bed pickup on Sunset Blvd in California.
