What was your very first car?

[porschekiller]

i learned to drive in my mom's 88 cougar xr7 5.0L w/GT rims. only went 103mph, so i pulled a daytona (the video game back then) and rolled it when the outside rear wheel broke off, probably because of s e a r s auto ctr torque wrench. first time i seen the sky where the road should've been.

1980 Monte Carlo 4.4 Liter V8 267 Cubic Inches, and a paltry 120 HP My Dad bought it for me my Senior year of High School. Car was very good to me, was a a dark green metallic, and ended up painting it Black in 1989, looked much better with the tan vinyl seats Sold it in 92 when got the muscle car itch, and had several 5.0's including the rare and increasing in value 93 Cobra last year of the Fox body style. Then I got into subarus in the early 90's and now Im addicted to SVX. Hope to buy a 94 Pearlie next year to go along with my 96 red lsi and 96 Polo lsi.

you could've rebuilt that 4.4L to rev like 4 motoguzzi 1100s!

1994 toyota camry, I drove it everywhere at about 90-100mph, it burned oil really bad. One day on the high way, I guess I burned TOO much oil, and without fail, the car stoped on the highway. I was almost ended there, by some monster semi! It still runs amazingly, it has a horrible engine knock, but it runs. now its the 92 svx, and its dead at the moment with tranny related nonsense. I'm poor as **** right now, so I can't fix it, driving the good old 98 nissan truck WOO!

1992 Eclipse GS Auto

I loved that car!

I soon after graduated to a AWD 5-spd model.

Nope it's 4942cc
I've owned 3 VERY different 302's. A '79 Mustang 302, with a holley 4bbl, Lots of sound, not much fury. An 85 5.0 4bbl roller in a Capri. Hands down the quickest car I've ever owned. And an '88 5.0 H.O. in a '74 Mustang, not so quick, but SCARY fast!

1984 nissan pickup. 2 wheel drive, not sure what it had in it but i swear that thing had a 350z motor in it.... at least thats what it said on the motor haha. pos for sure, parents paid $1 from my grandparents haha. engine blew cuz i never changed the oil. i didnt even know how to jump start a car then... ive come a long way since those days haha.

1994 saturn sc1-first car i bought. 4-cyl 5speed. $1k, parents paid $35 tax. good little car, wish i could have kept it actually for cheap gas. couldnt afford 2 cars on the insurance though. i was good to that car, never revved it above 3500 rpms, the guy that bought it from me was redlining it during the test drive and i was cringing. it held up really well though

1992 svx-second car i bought. $2750. most fun car ive owned, and coolest looking.

My first car was a 69 Cutlass S convertible. Was pale yellow with a black top and black interior. Had a 350 and a turbo 350 trans. I installed American Racing aluminum slots, 15x7 up front with G60 tires and massive 15x10 in the back with a set of M50's. GAWD was it ever mean looking!! How I wish I had never sold it!

My very first car was a 1978 Volvo 240 wagon. Parents got it for $400 and drove it till it died 5 years later. Safest car on the road(got rebates on my insurance at 17) if they only knew what I did with that car. Friends always asked what the oars were for yup it floated pretty good. Only car to survive a bad hailstorm that virtually destroyed every car around it.

That was the NAPS-Z (The NAPS meaning Nissan Anti Pollution System) engine, had nothing to do with the Z car, I don't know why they put the Z on the valve cover. Came in three sizes, 2.0, 2.2, and 2.4L... Two were known for cracking blocks, and the other was known for cracking the head, but I can't remember which is which. Best thing is to either get the motor mounts out of an 80, and put a 75 L20B in (Most HP, 75 L20B = 112 HP, 80 L20B = 98) or go KA24....

'91 R-x7

Never buy one
I still want another

Mine was a 1967 Chev Camaro (first year that they made them). It was Deepwater Blue with a white bumble bee stripe on the front. Boy, I wish I had that car now!

sweet, i have always wondered what was up with that motor! i just thought it was funny that it said 350z on it haha, although it could possibly have been something else because my grandparents did put a new motor in it, although it still probably was stock. they got the car for $50 cuz it needed a motor. i wonder what size mine was.... i know it was weak and it sucked gas like no other. the car did look like a cow too, it was all rusted and looked pretty bad. i still have it if anyone wants it... haha its in kansas though at our other house. if anyone is around topeka feel free to get it if you want lol.
