Let's Drive

Most of us at 17 drove a POS car full of trash, a cracked windshield, oil leak, and a funny noise you can ignore. It's almost a right of passage. But then we get a "real" job that gives us just enough credit and income to almost afford a new car. Or at least a new used car. Is it at this point when you started taking care of your car and understanding what needs to be done to maintain it? When did you start adulting when it came to being a responsible car owner?
