your first vehicle

my first car was a bright red 1997 pontiac sunfire. it was originally my dad's when new, then my mom's, then my sister's, then finally mine. needless to say, it had gone through a lot by the time i got it. by the time i got up to 60 mph, i was getting off the highway. my friends ragged on me about the color of it, but it was my pride and joy for about 6 months. one night, the battery died, turned out i lost the alternator. so, 2 weeks later, after i spent a diecent amount for a 16 yo to fix it up, we traded it in. oh well. im onto bigger and better things now, and i can only see my cars getting better from here on out.

 

First car a 1958 Fiat 600. This is a file photo.

My first and only car is a 2002 Ford Mustang GT. I will hold on to this car for a while. Great car for the money, just not too good in the snow.

Sweet! I had an '80 Scirocco when I was 18(it was my second car). Followed by an '84, then an '83. I loved those cars.


My first car was a '78 Ford T-Bird that my parents bought new. 19' long. The VW felt tiny by comparison.

Now I drive a '96 Cherokee as a daily driver, with my Chopper used for fun. Once that is sold, Ferrari search will begin with a vengeance!

 

I used to have a '00 TransAm with the LS1 and a 6-speed. Downright frightening in the snow.

 

My first was an eleven month old Triumph Spitfire Mk IV in French Blue (1974).
Now:
Nissan Murano (Singapore daily transport)
Mercedes A-Class (UK holiday car)

Not actually driving on the road:
TVR Cerbera
TVR Griffith
Mondial/Monzer x3

 

1971 FIAT 850 Sport Spider (file photo).
I maintained this car myself on my paper route budget. The 1975 JC Whitney catalog was my constant companion.
The first ever performance mod was to put a JCW header and flow through exhaust ($40) -- the neighbors thought the Pettys had moved in as it was so loud.

Thats awesome man but I'd be buggered waking up and someone has slid into the side of it, must happen fairly often!

 

My first car was a truck, a 1982 Datsun King Cab. Now I have a 1997 e36 BMW M3, 1998 e39 BMW 540i 6-speed, 1984 Toyota Supra, and a 1986 Ferrari 328 GTS

 

My first car was a 1969 Fiat 850. The only picture I have of it is it parked behind my old man's camper van (whilst he was respraying it)
now I have a 2007 Ford Focus, 2006 Ford Street Ka and the 1978 308 GT4

You're kidding! This was my first car too but mine was red w/a black top. I got mine in 1986 after a year of restorative engine work. The previous owner's wife was none too familiar w/the car & accidentally put oil in the radiator, mucking it up good.

I loved that car to death but was forced to sell it before college, and have regretted it ever since.

 

1975 Honda civic hatchback. 4 speed. Fourth plug fouled every 500 kms. Paint came off when I waxed it. Loved that car - wish I still had it.

 

41 Ford V-8, great first car for a 1951 High School graduate

 

'85 Cadillac Sedan Deville, had a nice interior and wasn't too kind to be on gas unless i drove like a blue hair on sunday. But i still miss it.

 

FIRST VEHICLE: 1968 Bonanza Minibike. My brother sold it without my consent. Disappeared for 20+ years. My brother then recovered it 5 states away and brought it back to me! Now my kids drive it.

FIRST CAR: In 1975 I was 16 and had been saving my money for two years. Bought a 1970 chevelle with 3-on-the-tree for $900. Sold it for $975 9 years later with a 327, holley carb, hooker headers, cam, edelbrock manifold, 4-speed, 12-bolt posi, a pretty cool custom interior that I stitched myself and bodywork and paint that I did myself that wasn't too cool.

I'll look for pictures.

CURRENT CAR: Daily driver is an '05 E500 w/20's. F430 and a Harley Deluxe.

 

haha, yeah, luckily no one did that. the school kind of screwed me out of a parking pass, so i parked on the street, and by the time i finally decided to say give me the ticket and go to a parking lot, it was too late, all the spots were taken. so my car got plowed in. it sat there for a week til i was forced to dig it out for an extra credit project, it took 4 guys 3 hours to get her out.

 

My thoughts...Chevrolet Malibu...???

 

yup. i don't think you have to worry about that happening to you anytime soon in monterrey

 

Fond memories with this.
