Having both your name and your dads on a car loan is a great way to help build credit! Make sure you pay all you bills on time this help keeps your score up!

A loan is a loan for the most part, so that motorcycle loan is fine.

Your name should be getting into the system. You can also build credit by getting a credit card, spending a little bit each month and paying off the entire balance each month. This builds a positive credit history.

If you don't qualify for a credit card, you might consider a secured card to build a payment record. An even better idea may be to get a gas card. That's how I started.
