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.

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!!

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...

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...

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.

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. =/

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.

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.
