My friend's 64 Belvedere /6 3 on the tree. I found it in a local yard some 30 years later and bought it.
How about pics of car you got your first drivers license in.

Mine first car was 77 LTD. Mine was seafoam green originally, but by the time I got it it was black. Had a .060 over 460 with Keith Black pistons. Blew 9” after 9” in that thing til I put a mini spool in. Figured out years later the “popping” that I was attributing to some timing issue was detonation, resulting from using 87. Ended up trading for a 71 straight 6 malibu

LOL....
Funny you should mention go carts in this thread...
When I was a 12-13 year old kid I had a friend, Eric, with a go cart who lived about 5-6 blocks south of the DMV test facility in Plymouth, MN (satellite image below), and on more than one occasion we snuck our go carts into the facility late at night via a loose fence we knew about near the back of the property. We never got caught, and imagine the fun we had tearing around the "streets" in near total darkness with our carts...
When it came time to take our driver's tests both of us knew the layout of the place pretty well, and both Eric and I passed on our first attempt. Go figure!
I guess I grew up in a poor town, we had to use the city streets.
But man that would have been fun.
I had a 60' by 60' backyard to ride around. Burnt in a 2 tire mark track. I thought I was king of the world!

I took the drive test in my mothers 1978 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Brougham.
The first car I had was the "kid" car a 1955 Chevy, it was down needing a repair so I borrowed my moms Oldsmobile to go to school (not the first time I needed to), on the way hom maybe a little to relaxed I dozed off and pulled a Dukes right off the freeway.

I was the fastest car on the block!
Wow! That looks amazingly close to what I did to my mom's Granada about a month after I got my license (response #12 above).
Did they fix the Cutlass, or total it out?

My mom wanted a 2 door Oldsmobile Omega with a 350 under the hood, but this was what she got, a 1974 "**** brindle brown" 4 door Maverick with a 250 cube 6 banger. Not the same car, but identical in appearance to this one.
She had a driving school and the car was equipped with dual accelerator and brake pedals for many years. It was actually a pretty good car, she put over 150k miles on it in the 17 years she owned it before trading it in on a 1981 Thunderbird.
I drove that car long before I was old enough to have a license, even had a minor collision with a drunk driver one Saturday afternoon, so I was very familiar with it by the time I passed my road test on my 16th birthday.
The dealership had applied such a thick undercoating that it would still occasionally drip some on a hot summer day 10 years later, and had almost no rust when mom traded it in on the T-bird, and surprisingly was never in need of any bodywork.
