Your first car

[jfarnsworth]

The car was a '79 firebird. The owner before me put a 400 big block in it. To my delight I got 8 miles to the gallon in that thing. Especially after the modifications dad & I put on it. Kinda glad I don't have it now. Reminds me of all the trucks for sale on the bulletin boards.

My first car was back in 2001, and I bought a brand spanking new 201 Cheverolet Camero. It was beautiful until some old lady ran a red light and broadsided me. Yep five days after I got it that woman wrote it off. You couldn't imagine how ticked I was.


Cheers,

Ryan

1967 Candy Apple Red Mustang. 6cly, 3 speed with over 100k miles for $175 in '74. Blew the engine, replaced it with a 'lil 289 that put down about 350 hp to the rear wheels. Loved muscle cars (Stangs in particular) ever since. Have an '02 Supercharged 4.6 in the garage now. :ultracool

2000 Ford Mustang. Bought it off a 69 year old grandma!

1973 Plymouth Satellite Regent...station wagon. Paid $100.00 for it. It had a huge motor in it and the back seat faced rearward so your passengers could see where you'd already been. Both back seats laid down flat and had plenty of room for ...um..never mind, just remember I was only 16. That car would roll in any kind of weather.

My car described in an earlier post was also a station wagon. I had a friend who also had an old station wagon, and he actually had a mattress in the back.....My parents weren't that stupid...:idunno:

 

[arnisador]

I learned to drive in my mother's station wagon...what a pain!

 

[Cryozombie]

I had a 70-somthing Town and Country station wagon...faux woodgrain panels, low miles, pristine shape... paid 800 for it. The long rear bed of that car served me well. One day It randomly started on fire in my driveway and that was the end of the wagon.

I hate it when that happens....

I had a 1988 Corsica...what a piece of junk that was for $400...had that until I got t-boned the day after my eightteenth birthday. then I got my '88 Accord, dropped it two inches and had 2.5" stainless off the downpipe to the three inch coconut shooter I liked to call a muffler...hehe. damn, was that thing loud. that lasted until I rear-ended a Cavilier going 7mph and to replace the bumper, bumper reinforcer, right fender, and right headlight and turn signal assembly from the exact model car, just the opposite color, my white Honda looked like it had a black eye. sold that, now I got a '91 Accord hand-me-down that I've done some bolt-on mods to, just gotta wait to get an actual job before I can do what I want to it.

[oldnewbie]

My first car was a 8 year old '72 Ford Pinto.. (Yes i've heard all the jokes)

Best thing about that car was when the engine blew I could pull out the engine with my hands!!!

Now I am shopping for my Son's first car...

Thanks for making me feel old!!!!

1971 Buick Skylark, I paid $1200 for it but spent a small fortune making it into a GS-X clone.

My first car I got in '95- 1989 2 door Ford Escort. A/C didn't work very well. By the time I replaced the transmission twice (and sounded like the the third was coming up), traded it in with a '98 Escort- EXCELLENT car! Only problems I've had (so far) are minor wear-and-tear kinds of things.
