The Rock did not have a happy experience purchasing his first car, despite the fact that he currently drives a fleet of the most opulent cars.

The Rock, also referred to as Dwayne Johnson, is undoubtedly one of the most well-known figures in sports and entertainment. The guy who rose to prominence in professional wrestling before moving to Hollywood and becoming the highest-paid actor has amassed enormous notoriety, the admiration of his followers, and considerable fortune.

However, The Rock had modest beginnings like everyone else, and he previously related the terrible story of purchasing his first pair of wheels for an extremely low amount of money.

What transpired when The Rock purchased his initial vehicle?

The Rock recalled the terrible night he purchased his first automobile during an interview on the Joe Rogan Experience. Dwayne was in a Nashville honky-tonk on Lower Broadway at the age of fifteen, pursuing his dream of becoming a country singer.

A inebriated person approached him during one of those meetings with his friend Downtown Bruno and offered him a car for between $75 and $80 USD. The Rock got the money together with Bruno’s assistance, and later that evening, they paid for a blue 77 Thunderbird.

The Rock noticed a rustling and rumbling as The Great One was speeding through Nashville in his first car, Bruno trailing him. Not a second later, he saw another inebriated person laying on the car’s floor. 

“I’m driving down the road, on I-65 down in Nashville, and I hear a lot of noise, some rustling,” he said to Joe Rogan. You are aware that the floor is quite broad and that they have a backseat on those large bodies? Another f*cking drunk was lying on the ground. I thought, “What the f*ck?” He is in the vehicle.

After the event, what action did The Rock take with the car?

The following day, The Rock went up to the gas station to fill up his automobile. However, it was at that point that he discovered the car’s paperwork were missing, leading him to believe it was stolen. In an attempt to perhaps stay out of problems with the law, The Rock abandoned his car at a Burger King.

“No f*cking papers, the car is probably stolen,” he declared. When I tried to put gas in it, the guy—the inebriated, crazy guy—didn’t give me the gas key. I gave it up at a f*cking Burger King, then. My first car was the one.

Even though The Rock had a negative experience with his first car, his fame and notoriety after coming of age more than made up for that unpleasant event.
