The black pontiac was my first car when I turned 16, by virtue of it having been my Dad's first new car in 1969 and he hung onto it. Five generations have been in it, counting my kids. Keeping your first car saves all the way stories about that car you "used to have" :-)

Only downside is that every mistake you made on your first cars I made too and have had to fix!

Here's a pic of me and my (long since departed) Dad changing the plates when I was little, and one of me and my kids doing the same last year. Note the same plate number for 40 years...
