1972 Mercury Capri. 4 cyl, 4 speed. A stylish package that burned oil at an alarming rate, up until a 4' diameter tree truck jumped out in front of it.
Ah, the memories!

1980 Plymouth Volare. It was the 2 door version like this but it was stock (no hood scoop, rear spoiler or rear window covers and it was all white). Though mine didnt have as good of an engine im sure the one in the picture does. heheh

subi-crosser on wifes puter,

my first car I bought AND drove was a 61 Galixie convertable. Gave $100. for it in 1972, It was an X drag car and had the crap kicked out of it mechanically, but the body was flawless! I bought a wrecked 66 ford and transfered all driveline componants to it and put a new white top on it. I haven't seen the car since yesterday, when I walked into my garage. It has 300k on it now and is stripped to bare metal and primed.
My 35 class reunion is in 2 years and I hope to have the resto-work completed by then!

Jerry

My mom told me when I was little that she bought her 86 Cutlass Supreme for me on my 3rd birthday and intended to give it to me, but by the time I turned 12 it was in pretty crappy condition (thanks, Alaska...).
We lived in Florida for the 8 years prior and the car was always in excellent condition, but as soon as we moved here things started breaking.

So when I turned 14 (1996) she got me a 92 Mitsubishi Precis.

P.O.S., but immaculate considering it was only 4 years old. Not that I knew any better.
I knew nothing about cars until summer of 2000 I bought an 88 XT6 off my then step-dad, at which point I became a Subaru fan(atic).
The Precis was borrowed by someone and t-boned by a van summer '98.

First motorcycle came to my from my step dad late '98.
81 Honda CM400 Hondamatic 2spd Custom.

First car

Hi everyone, Well someone had to have a first car that will really set you back. How about a 1949 Ford coupe. Had a flat head V-8 with a three speed on the column plus overdrive. A Laycock de Normanville overdrive. They don't have catchy names like that anymore. My dad had it first. Then my mom. And then me. When I got done with it we sold it to a kid down the street. Take care, BOBB

My first was a Good Humor ice cream truck in 77. Still have it too!!! Granted you have to push it with your feet and it as a few cracks in the plastic but she still rolls

Thumbs up

Not counting Dad's Buicks, the first ride was a well used turquoise & white '53 Olds 88 coupe.


[QUOTE=Mr. Pockets]I suppose my first car was a '91 Escort wagon. That was a dependable little car, man. My brother and I beat the snot out of it and the thing still lived to see 220k miles.


I bought my daughter the identical vehicle (used, w/78k) as a college grad present. She drove that thing to Maine, all over VA Tech for 2 years, to Oregon, back east, then to California where it eventually died a natural death at over 200K. I think it was washed twice.

Ron.

My first car was 1991 Geo Prizm Hatchback with sunroof, light blue. 5 speed.
Bought it for 2000usd and did the maintenance and upgrade for 1000usd. Thought of using her for a long time......8.5 mths later was wrecked by a friend of mine in a trip to NY. Sad story. Good thing I'm still alive today...

My svx is my first awd and automatic car.
