CamaroRS1967 · 06-20-2003, 06:02 AM

I'm curious to see what everybodys' first car was. I'll start. My first car was a 1967 Camaro RS. (still have it too)

clonmult · 06-20-2003, 06:52 AM

1985 - just passed my test (one of the first at sixth form). I'm embarrassed to say that mine was a Datsun 120Y. 1.2 liters, a claimed 70 horsepower, rear wheel driver, rampant rust, tail slides with even the slightest amount of water on the road ....

But the insurance on anything bigger/better was ridiculous. At the time, I wanted an Astra GTE, but that got screwed by semi-regular accidents, which completely screwed my chances of ever affording the insurance on a truly interesting, fast car.

absorbentishe · 06-20-2003, 07:12 AM

I started driving in '86, with a '78 Granada. It had a 302 in it, and it flew, I could take on most challengers and beat 'em.

X_cody_X · 06-20-2003, 08:08 AM

1980 Chevy C-10 Longbed. With a 383 and a Turbo 400 trans out of a racecar. Was given to me just before my 14th birthday, my dad told me if I got it running it was mine. Got it running and started racing people immediately

. By the time I was 15 I had gotten it up to 130MPH multiple times and in turn had burned all the valves and blew all the rings by the time I was 15

. It was a fun learning experience. Learned how to re wire a truck and destroy within a year

joshibahn · 06-20-2003, 11:13 AM

1964 Chevy Nova II Wagon, with 50k original miles, straight six, 2 speed powerglide, drove like a champ, damn I miss that one......

jetta · 06-20-2003, 02:08 PM

1967 Pontiac Firebird, then a 68 firebird, then a 68 GTO, and so on...

Now I have a 67 Frirebird convertible with a 455, a 61 bug, a 66 Mustang etc...

Just love the older classics!

blmbbo · 06-20-2003, 02:28 PM

*sigh* 1993 Saturn SC2. 1.9 L of 124(on a good day) screaming horsepower. That's right... meet me at a red light.

Ashton · 06-20-2003, 03:28 PM

Lincoln MK III, just like this but all black

BooRadley · 06-20-2003, 03:45 PM

1967 Pontiac Executive. Big , 4 door car with a 400ci 333hp motor. It could break traction off the line on dry days with a little over quarter throttle.

idontknow · 06-20-2003, 07:55 PM

2001 civic with NOS....fast as shit boiiii

splck · 06-20-2003, 08:36 PM

1974 Toyota Celica...it looked like this

ducati999 · 06-20-2003, 11:46 PM

95 Camaro Z28.....i still love it every day!

bodypainter · 06-21-2003, 05:21 AM

1964 1/2 Mustang - 6 cylinder, 3 speed. Bought it for $400 in 1972 and sold it for $400 in 1973.

Worth a bit more than that now days.

KeyserSoze · 06-21-2003, 06:44 AM

Ugly ass green 1969 Firebird which I had painted gun metal grey. I wish I still had it!

rogue49 · 06-21-2003, 08:08 AM

Back in 84
An 80' Pontiac Pheonix. (dark blue)

extracool64 · 06-21-2003, 09:44 PM

The first car I put money into the purchase of was a 1968 Nova SS: 350, muncie 4 speed with a 12 bolt. Went in halves with my brother for it at age 14.
The first car of my own was a 1968 Camaro, original 327 4 speed and a 10 bolt.
My current car is a 1968 Camaro SS all original 350, muncie 4 speed and original 12 bolt. It currently has a 383 with 50 miles on it. it serves for more "spirited driving"

Tech · 06-21-2003, 10:20 PM

a '95 GTP, still have it, got it in christmas '97.

didn't know much about cars, neither did/does my dad. never buy one for your child, the engine is very high maintenance, i actually read a review of my car when i was in college that said "this is not the car to buy your child going off to college" lol

RoloTomassy · 06-22-2003, 01:13 AM

I kind of have 2 first cars. I had my 1988 Camaro RS when I had my permit, but due to the... condition of the car and my budget, I had to get rid of it and go for a 1992 Acura Vigor... at first I was pissed, but I've grown to love my Vigor... although I know when I get older I'm going to have to get another Camaro.... maybe 2nd Gen.

madsenj37 · 06-22-2003, 01:17 AM

1987 325 BMW. It is my only car. Had it for 5 1/2 years now. Learned stick on it too.

bullgoose · 06-22-2003, 09:25 AM

My first car was a 1941 Plymouth; I bought it for $10.00. It weighed in at 4200 lbs; the tired 90 H.P. flathead 6 cyl. really had to work to just get it moving, but it was wheels and the AM radio still worked. My SECOND car was a little better: a 1956 Studebaker Golden Hawk with a super-charged engine; I bought it for $150.00 and did a little work on it; I used to make beer money blowing off Chevys with it.

bubbagump · 06-22-2003, 04:06 PM

mine was a 1990 acura legend. i still have it seeing as i got it only about 10 months ago. man i love my car, gets me around everywhere in style and comfort!

06-22-2003, 07:07 PM

1978 Porcshe 924. Its pretty good looking and fits me well (a big factor since im 6'7") Produces about 110hp from the 2litre audi engine. Hopefully when I pull the cat converter and add a highflow muffler I can get it up to the 125hp eurospec. Other then that, there isn't much im going to do to the car. wish it was turbocharged but that will cost more then I want to invest in it.

deathbygaetano · 06-22-2003, 08:50 PM

1991 Alfa Romeo 164. Don't get too excited. It was an auto.

thadon · 06-23-2003, 08:38 AM

1990 Ford Ranger w/ the 4.0L v6 was my first ... after a year I put a Paxton supercharger on it, borla headers and a 3 inch exhaust ... I'd have that truck today if it was not fro my ex .... bitch made me sell it.

Spyder_Venom · 06-23-2003, 08:42 AM

1986 Camaro Z-28 with a solid roller 383... I miss that car, it looked like ass, go BAD gas milage, never ran - quite right.

Boy was it fun

Bonsairx7 · 06-23-2003, 01:05 PM

1st car, 1988 Mazda Rx7 GTU

ARRH · 06-23-2003, 06:26 PM

1987 BMW 320i - Got it at Easter 2002 - Had it for about 7 months, then flipped it over cause I didn't know what a 'ford' was (one of those things where the water flows over the road, fyi). So now I'm on my second car: 1992 Ford Telstar GL 2.0L. It's nothing compared to my previous baby. It's gold though, and has a spoiler! SCORE!!!

boredjerk · 06-23-2003, 06:39 PM

1984 Nissan Sentra wagon. Had to clutch and brake with the same foot because the right foot had to be constantly on the gas to keep it running. It was also missing 3rd gear. I put 50k miles on it like that and sold it for 100 bucks.

tfin · 06-25-2003, 09:34 PM

71 chevy pickup truck. And it was yellow too. I miss it so much.

iamii · 06-25-2003, 09:35 PM

Mine was a 1990 Honda Accord Lx ran upto 150 K miles before we donated it to charity, I drive a 1998 VW passat now.

drag0nmanes · 06-26-2003, 01:52 AM

1983 Civic wagon. thing was a trooper, but it took a shit on me from lack of maintenance. Funny, seeing as I had it for two years and outlasted what most people thought it was gonna last. I lubbed that car...

osideracer · 06-26-2003, 05:24 PM
