16 years old, passed the driving test on my 16th birthday. Had a 64 Malibu SS with a 283 SB and a brand new 74 Yamaha 350 RD that I bought from money saved washing dishes and mopping floors and picking tobacco. My old man called me "Mr. Ferris, Last of the big wheels"...Worst part was having to drive my 12 year old sister and her friends to school because they cried to the old man about being late....Took a lot of crap for being spotted at the Junior High and me telling them to stay low. That 64 was a test mule in auto shop and the teacher sure showed me a lot about car maintenance
