I'm sure they did, you have to much nice gear.
My first car was a non running 1968 VW bug that my dad let me purchase for $550 with my own cash, at the local junk yard. It took me two years to get it on the road, but my dad helped me restore it. Suspension rehaul, brakes, fuel lines, carb, manual choke, body work, seemed like the project would never end. I was disgruntled at the time, but it all makes sense now.
My son will get the same treatment Apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
But maybe instead of a VW bug, ill make him purchase an old Civic instead.
