Wow! You were working at 10 years old at KFC? That's really young. That isn't allowed in the US. When I was a younger teen, I babysat for money but that's it. I was allowed to work at a real job at 16 so that's what I did. I was able to buy my first car, a 65 Mustang Convertible. It wasn't mechanically that sound, but I liked how it looked and got it cheap, so it was the way to go. Back then, you used to be able to repair your own car. Now, cars are too complicated.
