Your first car?

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)

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.

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.

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

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.

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"

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

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.

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.

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.

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!!!

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.
