At age 13 I was told "Cam, you're getting the van when you're 16..."
I was not about to let that happen! So I went out and became a soccer ref and saved every penny I made for three years, worked almost every sat. during the soccer season.
At 16 I found my Disco for $8000 dollars, I paid $7000 and my parents threw in $1000.
My disco has been great, Its my child and I dont think I will ever sell it!
I want to go all over with it one day, when I have a job and make more money of course.
I'm 18 now and I will be heading off to college next year, and I trust that my disco will get me there and back! Its taught me sooooo much about owning a vehicle and its turned me into a total LAND ROVER ENTHUSIAST for life.

First vehicle '86 Buick Century. In '95. Yes, my dad bought it, for $400, and I worked for him for peanuts.
Second '88 Pontiac Sunbird - Got this one cuz the Buick wasn't very reliable.
Third '83 GMC S-15 - I killed the Sunbird and got this truck, loved it except for the lack of A/C. High school girls gotta have A/C.
Fourth '81 Honda Accord - This car had A/C, and only 80k original miles in '98
Fifth '98 GMC Sonoma - Grenaded the motor in the Honda and this was the first vehicle I ever financed.
Sixth '01 Chevy S-10 - After new tranny in the Sonoma, it was time for something better, and 4x4.
Seventh '03 Nissan Sentra SE-R SpecV - 4x4 too expensive and not family friendly, got a baby on the way in '04.
Eighth '06 Nissan Sentra SE-R SpecV - Tranny almost gone in the '03, and Nissan dealer made me a good deal.
Ninth '87 Honda Prelude and '95 Nissan 240SX - Got rid of the Sentra and got 2 project cars. Crap shoot as to which one I drove more.
Tenth '03 Land Rover Discovery - I love this truck, I will never get rid of this truck. My wife now wants an LR3.
