A 1964 Ford Fairlane 500. This was in the early 70's. It was given to me by my father's third wife.

I also had a 1972 Honda CB350 motorcycle at the time.

It died when the driveshaft broke and set the rear seat on fire. It coasted into a no parking zone. I scrapped it and barely got enough to pay the parking tickets.

73 Olds Omega 2door with the Rocket 350
Blue with tons of rust by 81 when I got it.

It still smoked the tires and I scared the shit out of my friends a time or two in it.

1982 chevy c20 pickup with a 350 built for pulling power. Fun truck. But my first car was a 1983 alfa romeo GTv6. Mine had a 3.0 v6 in it and was the size of a CRX and rwd. What a fucking sleeper.

1977 Chevy Malibu.

It was a hand-me-down from dad. It had over 100,000 miles on it, but still ran decent enough. I aquired it in 1987.

The first car my wife & I bought after getting married was a 1992 Saturn SL1, with a 5-speed manual transmission. It shifted like a dream. Man, I miss that car!!

71 pinto no guts but cheap on gas!

bparker805 08-21-2003 10:17 AM

my first car was an 84 chevy cavilier station wagon. i think just about everything broke on piece of shit. my friends and i nicknamed it the grunion(after the fish). because if it was a fish it would just flop around on the beach gasping for air... it was a fun car for high school and got me everywhere. but the one thing that pisses me off the most about that damn car was all my friends got laid in it and i never did...

THGL 08-22-2003 08:16 AM

a '70 Ford Mustang coupe like this one:

except it was blue and had the plain steel wheels (painted same blue as car) with dog-dish hubcaps

oWnAg3 08-22-2003 10:15 AM

First car i got a few months ago. It is a 1992 Honda civic CX hatchback. only 86400 when i got it. Now it has a RS akimoto intake and a Flowmaster muffler. No speed limiter, so it goes up to at least 115. 1.5 liter 70 h.p. firecracker!

jferris722 08-22-2003 12:54 PM

1986 Pontiac Fiero V6. It seemed much cooler before I pulled the engine twice within the first year, I learned the meaning of "GM quality" the hard way...

Coucher 08-25-2003 06:38 AM

My first car was a 1964 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu SS.

Bought just the body/rear end when I was about 14, then built a motor/tranny for it and did the interior.

1980 daihatsu charade! 1.0 litres, 3 cylinders, FWD. Was actually a quite fun car considering the size of the engine. Rock solid too- took all my punishment and begged for more.

My first car was an old beat up 80's old school crappy celica. HAHA the hting would not shift into gear sometimes.

Booboo 09-07-2003 07:02 PM

Was 2000 VW golf.. I loved that car. I was in an accident though so I am without one. I really lucked out on getting it.. Was my step-bro's but he couldn't afford to keep it when he moved. So I convinced my parents to just let me have it. No down payment = good.

That thing was so fun to drive (manual).

And my accident was hitting ice and going into a pole not 40' away.. I imagine there wasn't much I could do but I cant remember. =/

It was fun :) My brother drives it now, and I bought a '98 Chevy 1500 z71. Both really solid cars and handle the MN winters pretty well.

1990 Oldsmobile Delta 88. Maroon. What a sweet, little car. Was still running like a champion when it was traded in.

Averett 09-10-2003 07:52 AM

2001 Honda Civic EX. I adore my car. Yes, everyone and their grandma drives a Civic. It's a good, reliable car. And it's all stock. I haven't put in any nitro or whatever in it. Why bother?

cjjeep21 09-10-2003 10:58 AM

mine was a 1965 Ford Galaxie 500 with a 390 Police Intercerptor engine. Boy, that was one fast car.

wondash 09-11-2003 04:43 AM

'85 Jeep CJ-7. Black with Blue Renegade package. I loved that car. I hated that car.

Robblee 09-12-2003 09:28 AM

1999 Toyota Tercel, has lasted me the last 4 years!

b1gj0n 09-16-2003 07:09 PM

1981 chevy citation... it was a beast of a car j/k

wrongfullyaccuzd 09-16-2003 10:30 PM

1994 toyota camry, still have it with about 146k miles.
not a great performer, but cars are fun to play with when you don't care about them. ;)

DiffEng 09-17-2003 07:41 AM

1978 Ford Thunderbird.

Affectionately known as the "War Pig." It was dark metallic brown witha brown vinyl roof. Quishy brown interior too. Spoke hubcaps, whitewalls, she was a sweet looking beast. Not.

It had the 400ci V8 wit ha 4 barrel on it. Man, when you're 16 and working part tiem at a grocery store, it gets hard to keep gas in a car like that, which is ultimately why I got rid of it.

It had two rust holes in the trunk, just behind the rear wheels. Not visible from outside. Anything that went in the trunk would be cooled after a 10 minute drive due to the air getting in and circulating. A Thunderbird with a built in cooler. Always a good thing.

Lestat 09-24-2003 10:29 PM

1978 VW Scirrocco.

boobwatcher1000 09-25-2003 09:58 PM

my first was a 1979 malibu classic.
smoked a little, small motor, bad paint, cool wheels....
I was awsome.

dailyjo2003 09-27-2003 07:41 AM

1966 Chevy Impala; Black.

m5man 09-27-2003 09:23 PM

Dad said if I wanted a car, I had to rebuild it first to see how it worked. '39 Cadillac 60 Special was what he bought me and I took my driver's test at 16 in it.

RemyLebeau97 09-29-2003 07:10 PM

1994 Chevorlet Camaro Z28, now it's my project car. Thanks Mom and Dad. :)

preluder 10-01-2003 03:35 PM

my first was a '94 black camry coupe V6LE with leather. it was a pretty fun car, had a nice dark tint. i liked that car, but it's on to faster and cooler things.

yoshi 10-01-2003 04:15 PM

Mine was a 1984 Cutlass Supreme. I was 16 and my parents wanted me to have something "safe". It was a friggin hurse!

torgone 10-01-2003 07:46 PM

My first car . . .
A '64 Plymouth Valiant (already whippped to death)I bought off my best friend's dad for $50. (this was 1973)
I beat the living shit out of that car; put it in the ditch many times; put about a million miles on it, and sold it for $75!

dylanmarsh 10-01-2003 07:59 PM

A bronze, 1978 Ford T-Bird with a 351 Cleveland. That fucking car hauled some serious ass. My cousin and I drove it from Arizona to Cape Cod in 1999 and I gave it to him. I really miss that car and the lack of a car payment.

I really wish I had lost my virginity in it. Sigh.

hahaha 10-02-2003 11:31 AM

1991 eagle talon tsi AWD, had to sell it though. I plan on buying another 1st gen DSM eventually once I can afford a project car.
