I'd drive it

For the five feet it would take before it stopped for some reason..... :0

This, actually, is a pretty good representation of my Dad's first new car (he had a 53' Ford secondhand growing up)

#1, That brings up an interesting notion in my head...

What was your parent(s)' first car? First new car?

Dad: 1962 Peugeot 404 sedan (first car); 1970 Datsun 240Z (first new car)
Mom: 1966 Chevrolet Nova sedan (first car); 1985 Dodge B150 Ram Wagon Prospector (first new car)

#2, Father: 1931 Ford Model A (first car); I'm not sure about his first new one. It might've been the 1967 Chevrolet Malibu 327 that he bought when he got back from Vietnam.
Mother: 1958 Chevrolet Delray (first car); 1989 Volkswagen Fox (first new car)

#3, That's a helluva first car for your dad.

I can actually expand this a bit...

Oldest sister: 1985 Chrysler LeBaron GTS (first car); 1997 Plymouth Neon Expresso (first new car)
Older [middle] sister: 1993 Ford Aerostar (first car); 2006 Scion xB (first new car)

#4, He got it in 1950, IIRC, so it was 19 years old at the time. Five-window coupe with a rumble seat, in solid black with red wire wheels.

I only have an older sister, so hers are 1989 Chrysler LeBaron convertible (first car) and 2021 Kia Soul GT-Line (first new car).

#5, So your parents, or you dad at least, is a fair bit older than my parents, who were both born in the late '40s.

#7, Your dad got his first car at 15? Didn't waste any time, did he?

#8, That was the legal driving age in MS at the time. Hell, they didn't change it to 16 until sometime in the 1990s.
