Mine was a '69 Chevelle with a straight six cylinder. Blew that engine on the highway big time when I was 17.

'71 Pontiac LeMans Sport 350. TH350 tranny and an insanely steep rear gear. Just about impossible to keep the back wheels planted firmly. My parents supplanted that with a new '96 Oldsmobile Acheiva about six months later.

I had a 1982 Camaro. 6 Cylinder auto. Man that car was slow. Then I got a 1992 Nissan 240sx new when I graduated High School. I thought it was fast. A couple of trucks later, I bought a 2001 Mustang Cobra. It IS fast. It is pushing close to 500 HP at the wheels. It is alot of fun......:cool:

1981 Buick LeSabre hand-me-down from my grandma.
it was built like a tank. I once hit a low treebranch and knocked it off the tree, but no damage at all to the buick

Pragma 08-05-2003 03:30 PM

'92 Acura Integra GS, automatic. It's a great car, has tons of miles and keeps on chugging with absolutely no hiccups. I got it only recently, installed a new air filter, and a few minor things, but I'm very happy with the performance - just wish it was manual.

Next car, though, is definitely going to be a Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4, that or a Mazda RX-7.

1984 Ford Ranger 4 cyl short-bed, got it when I turned 15 in 1995, rusted through the roof (actually floor) didn't run to well but with a little work lasted 3 months past my 16th birthday before it jumped time thus leaving me without a ride...It was nice while it lasted, for such a bad condition truck it sure got up

mpedrummer2 08-05-2003 04:48 PM

1991 Ford Ranger XLT Supercab...the 2.9L V6, 5-speed manual.

I loved it. The A/C didn't work, neither did the power locks. It did 0-60...eventually. It could bark the tires, but only if it was raining :).

I put the first dent in it with my ass...i ran and slid across the hood, thought I was cool, and went to do it again. The second time, though, I didn't jump high enough and smashed right into the driver's front fender...the dent is still there.

It still runs, most of the time...it's in the backyard. Holy shit, I'm turning into a redneck...

I drove a a 1963 Volvo sports sedan.. The name of the car was actually just the male symbol (arrow up from a circle)

This 63 volvo has dual slide carbs on a four cylinder engine. (tons of power)and would easily break 115 MPH, I was scared to go any faster cuz i had shitty tires...

macmanmike6100 08-14-2003 02:23 AM

I don't have a car of my own just yet (still in college and really don't want to pay car insurance) but I did learn to drive in a metallicized steel-gray <a href="http://www.carsearch.com/738835.htm">1995 Mercedes-Benz E320</a>. My Dad recently got rid of it because he wanted a Bimmer; as you can imagine, it was emotional to lose a car so close to my heart for driving.

1966 Holden HD X2 Station Wagon. Hot 179, Twin carbs etc.
Loved it, Thrashed it!


Info about HD Holdens

Month of launch February 1965

Price when new $2320 (1160 pounds) for a standard sedan

Number built 178,927

Engines 2.45 litre (149 cu inch) six cylinder high compression (8.8:1) and low compression(7.7:1)

2.95 litre (179 cu inch) six cylinder high compression (8.8:1)

2.95 litre (179 cu inch) six cylinder high compression (8.8:1) X2

the 149 engine has a bore of 3.25 in and the 179 engine a bore of 3.563 both have a 3 inch stroke

Transmissions 3 speed manual gearbox

2 speed powerglide automatic transmission

Models Standard sedan, Special sedan, Premier sedan, Standard station wagon, Special station wagon, Premier station wagon, panel van, and utility.

Identification All new body with horizontally slatted grille split by vertical bar bearing the Holden badge protruding front guards extend past headlights and merge with front bumper.


The HD had a completely new body (following EH). Engineered entirely in Australia, the new model offered substantial increases in passenger and load space. Disc brakes were offered as factory option for the first time. Early demand for the HD Holden was exceptionally high. During the first few months, sales outstripped those of the record breaking EH. The X2 motor was offered as an option on all models and developed 105kW by virtue of the twin carbys, a modified camshaft, new manifolds, and a low restriction exhaust system. The three speed hydromatic transmission was replaced by the Powerglide two speed. With a choice of three engines, two gearboxes and an expanded options list (which included the latest fashion , the vinyl roof) the HD gave the Holden buyer the greatest choice yet.

In 1965 20,000 Holdens were exported.

My first car was a brand new 1985 VW Jetta

And it's still on the road today. I'm on my fourth car since then, but the person I sold it to still uses it as a second car.

Tex 08-14-2003 09:14 AM

My first car was a 1990 Acura Legend V6 L.

Power Everything, Moonroof, Air Conditioning, Automatic.

I still have it but the transmission is pretty much done. :mad:

1995 Cadillac Sedan de Ville (Silver w/ Red Leather Interior)
1995 Ponitac Grand Prix SE
2004 Subaru Impreza WRX

The Cadillac was given to me, however it kept getting keyed since I was still in high school, so it got traded in for the GP which I drove until its transmission bit the dust in June (at least it lasted me through BS and MS degrees). At which time I bought my first car. The WRX, which can hopefully last me through the P.hD.
