Mine came from Western Auto. It was "payment" for an entire summer spent baling hay and cropping tobacco on my Grandparent's farm.

I remember when I was a kid I got a used bike and decided I wanted to paint it black with like super high gloss clear coat on it. Sanding seemed like it took hours or maybe even days. It looked awesome when it was done but the time spent in the basement sanding away with the mask on was torture. I like taking things apart and putting them back together but body work was just never my forte..

My dad would get used bikes, repaint them, and give them to me and my brother. When I was 12 he was going to by me a new bike and we went to Sears. I saw this all chrome BMX bike that I wanted so bad but it was 200 bucks, he was willing to spend 40. Since I wanted something more then what he was willing to spend he loaned me the lawnmower and made me earn all the money and buy it. He took a 10% cut of what I made with his mower and I had to buy the gas. By the time I went back with the money to buy it, the bike had dropped in price and I had a bunch of extra money.

What colour was the new bike? Why didn't you just mow your neighbours lawns? Probably kept more of your hard earnings, enough to buy a bike and machine gun.. |

I don't remember. At the time I was fishing a lot, so it was probably something along those lines.

First big thing I spent my money on was a simple red kayak at 10-ish. I think it was like $400.

Many a model tank, plane and ship succumbed. Goldish orange. You think my neighbours (all 4 of them) had any more money than we did? You think grass got cut in that neighbourhood?
