My first car was a 1970 Volkswagen Square Back that got handed down from my dad; to my mom; then my brother and eventually me.
My brother fixed it up which became the ultimate surf mobile cruising down Pacific Coast Highway in many beach cities in Southern California. Its first color was factory painted fire engine red and ended up white. By the time I got it, it was white with pinkish red spots all over it. I had to use red primer for all the rust spots on it from being parked outside in the salty ocean air. After my brother fixed up this beach cruiser, he smashed it up on a Mexican surfing trip and it ended up being towed all the way from somewhere in Mexico to San Pedro, California which was 200 miles. My grandfather had to pay this tow bill which was really never discussed in the family. So I was the beneficiary of this ultimate beach car and she lasted until my first year of college. I'll never forget her.
