My first car had an 8 track!
I'm so old I think of Dire Straits as a new band.

I think Americans buy their first car much younger than Canadians. It isn't really a rite of passage to buy your own car here. Some rich kids get gifted cars but mostly kids just use their parents cars until they move out or finish school and have a full time job. It is also not that common for people to go away to college especially if they live in or near large metros.

Most of "my cars" were really my parents'.

Same. My parents had 2 cars at one point and my dad used to take transit to work because it costed too much to park in downtown Toronto so I remember using the second car almost exclusively to go to college, the gym, hang out with friends etc but it wasn't my car. The first car I owned was after I finished school and was working full time.

Yikes, that is back in the day.
