What was your very first car?

Volvo: Built like a box so you done end up in one
The black wagon is sick dude.
As for my first...I had an '89 caddy fleetwood brougham. maaco peeling of primerish grey with blood red leather interior. That thing was freakin awesome. You could fit like, 6 bodies in the trunk (13 or so if you put them through a wood chipper first) Totally gangster (Not "gangsta" like theese crazey kids seem to think is cool) Okay, so the only thing that DID work was the check engine light, but the 10 miles or less a day it WOULD travel was done in style

That black wagon is by far the sexiest volvo i've ever seen. I'd rock it.

1972 Datsun 240Z. Picked it up for $1,200 put about another $1,000 into it and boy was she nice. I have pics around somewhere. I loved that car. Besides the rust, I never really had a problem with it. Ended up selling it after I got married to buy a K Car. Yikes.... I was looking to buy another but realized that they just weren't for me any longer. So I bought the SVX and never looked back....

Thanks, I had some help converting it to a 5 speed and it was fun to drive minus the body roll.

I also owned an 87 Fleetwood Brougham with the olds 307. What a slow yet fun to drive car. Mine was stock... Once

WHOA! That Caddy is SCARY!

My 1st car was a '78 Datsun B210. It was a Michigan car, so it was more bondo than body. Cancer finally killed it.
Then...
'72 T-bird
'72 Toyota Corona
'74 Toyota Corona
'74 Pontiac Astre wagon (Vega)
'76 MustangII "Stallion"
'84 Mustang hatch
'74 Olds Omega (Nova)
'72 Chevy pickup
'80 Ford Pinto
'78 Pontiac Grand Prix
'86 Subaru XT GL10
'91 Mazda B2600i pickup
'87 Subaru XT GL10
'82 Mercury Capri
'74 Ford Pinto (Still own)
'95 Taurus Wagon
'95 Olds Cutlass (still own)
'97 Subaru Legacy LSi Wagon (Still own)
Can you tell I have an affinity for "oddball" cars? The Mustangs are the only "Car Guy" cars I've owned

My first car was a 1973 Pontiac Ventura with a 350 in it. That was back when you could buy American V8 muscle for under $1000. My first sports car came when I was 18, I picked up a 1976 MG Midget. It was tons of fun when I bought it in June but I was glad that I hadn't sold the Ventura when the cold weather came.

My first real car was a 2000 Dodge Neon with 50k that I picked up for $2000. Three months later...


A mini van pulled out infront of me on a highway...T-boned them going somewhere between 45 and 50 mph. Luckily I wasn't speeding that day. I wanted to take my time going to class.

I got $4700 from the insurance company..

Then I got the SVX...

All in all....I think it was worth it.

....That caddy was on ebay wasnt it? I very much so remember seeing it listed as a demo derby car. lol, mine had the 307 as well....

[jeffast]

my first was the 94 s-10 in my sig, still have it 6 years later, i love that truck not the best at anything, but i have done some incredbly mean things to it and it still runs flawless

[AlcyoneDaze]

1990 Toyota Celica GT coupe

2.2Litre engine, 5-speed. I added a homemade cold air intake, Pacesetter cat-back exhaust, advanced timing, 1 inch drop Eibach springs, M3 fender vents (not ricey Z3 fenders), updated 92-93 taillights, 3-piece spoiler, clear corners, 17" Sport Edition rims, and called it a day. she ran a 16.394 @ 85mph at the dragstrip and was a fun daily driver car during the formative years of my youth, got my first clinton in the backseat of that car

The aftermarket part situation for the 5th gen (90-93) celica is about the same as the SVX, it wasnt really a performance car, but it was light and had good pickup. I kinda miss her

Haha, yeah that was a couple of years ago. The fact that I lost the passenger side door was not a selling point.....

[Hondasucks]

First vehicle was a 1973 Datsun 620 pickup... L18 SSS bottom end (balanced, with flat tops), crappy emissions head (Someone snagged the SSS head before I got the engine), Weber carb, header, rattlecan blue :-P Was a good little truck, and it would have run longer than it did had I known then what I know now about rebuilding engines... but my first CAR was a 1987 Subaru STD hatcback.. 2WD, 4 speed, no options... but got 28mpg in town!



As you can see by the fact the racing stripes are mismatched, I really had mad painting SkillZ then lol...

[AlcyoneDaze]

and counting skillz...
your Pleaides cluster is missing Alcyone entirely!!!

[shotking]

Nope i'm wrong its still missing a star.
