Just found this and figured I'd maybe start it going again...

1981 Olds delta 88 sedan aka heavy rusted piece of s**t. My dad bought it from my bro-in-law's dad for $175 and i drove it once in awile. Covered in surface rust and no power options what-so-ever.

I loved that beast so much I actually had 2 other gm "big bodies" after that

My first car, 92 Claret SVX. Bought it off the side of the road as a project. Ended up being a lot more of a project than I expected, lol. I bought the car when I was 14, yeah 14, lol. When I got the car, the manifold was in the trunk, along with a few other engine pieces... So I put it all back together, and drove her around for a few months. Granted, I was 14. But living in the small town I did, and I lived across the street from the police station, they didnt mind. I didnt ever go far, just joy rides around town and what not. Ah good memories with that car, Ill never forget it. That one now resides in the biggest SVX collection in the world


My second car, 06 Ford Focus hatchback. It was a good car, I miss having a 5 speed. That one is now my moms car.

My third car, 92 Teal SVX. Back in the game!

And my current car, 95 Polo SVX.... Im crazy

I guess I'm older than a lot of you guys. My first car, in 1950, was a 1935 Chrysler Airstream 6 sedan. Smooth and comfortable, but had no main bearings left in the engine. Paid $165 for it. Then, senior year in high school, traded it in for a 1936 DeSoto (remember those?) Airflow. This was essentially a 6-cylinder version of the Chrysler Airflow, which were all eights. Had a huge knob on the dashboard that locked out the mechanical Borg-Warner overdrive, knob was labeled "Gas Saver."
Then my parents gave me the car we had had in the family since new, the 1940 Plymouth coupe we had driven cross country from Connecticut in. It was finally towed to a wrecking yard in 1958, after being my dad's beater for years.
In 1952, bitten by the import car bug but not being able to afford an import, I bought (for $250) a 1947 Crosley convertible. OHC motor, crash gearbox, mechanical brakes, 23 horsepower, but 30+ miles per gallon. Just the thing for an impoverished student. It was followed by a 1950 Crosley Hotshot roadster, and then, nirvana, my first (new) Volkswagen in the fall of 1955. That was followed by another beetle, three Karmann Ghias, a Porsche 912, a boring but reliable Toyota Celica, a series of Mercedes diesels, then a M-B 280SE 4.5, an Alfa Romeo spider, and finally the 1991 Alfa Romeo 164 I have had for the past 12 years.
A Geo Metro convertible for a commuter car came right after the Alfa, because I didn't want to commute in (and use up) the Alfa. The commute was 100 miles per day round trip, in heavy traffic. When the Geo died of old age (180K miles) it was replaced with a Mercury (Ford of Australia) Capri convertible, which I still have. The Pearl 1992 SVX came in to my life 14 months ago and joined the Alfa and Mercury in my stable. Family asks why I need three cars, my answer is "you don't sell cars if you buy ones that are really great to drive." Luckily, my So Cal. climate means the cars have no cancer and will probably be with me until I can no longer drive them.
Sorry this has got so long.

Very first car was an 88 Dodge Aries K in 96. I paid $150, found 2oz of pot and $400 cash stuffed in the back seat (between the seat and the back-rest)..... the guy dropped it off for me as I didn't quite have my license.... there was a knock in the engine. The first time I drove it was to my bud's shop where he told me the crank was bent and it would last between 3 minutes and 2 years.... it died and went to the junk yard before it could get me home.... but I was happy Later on I used my third paycheck the $400, and the $175 I got for the other stuff.... to buy an 89 dodge daytona turbo that I ended up painting 6 different times and putting in about $6500 worth of stereo into before my GF at the time drove it into a guardrail........ After that was a 94 dodge shadow that I got specifically because it was white (The White Shadow.... duh?) and then came all new stories.....

I will really show my age-1931 Model A Ford 2dr Sedan. Of course made a hot rod out of it. My first real full time driver was a 1951 Ford flathead V8.

First car was a 1972 Datsun 240Z quickly followed by a 71 Datsun 510 as my winter car. Loved both of those cars. Just this year went out and bought a mint 1981 280zx turbo because I could not forget my old 240Z...
