Technically, it would be an old WWII Jeep I learned to drive on the farm when I was 8 or 10 years old. Drove the 3/4 mile from the house to the mailbox every day. First gear all the way. Next, the Ford 4000 tractor.

First real car would have to be a brand new 1970 Cougar my parents got for me to drive when I was in high school. I wish I still had that car... Boy, that sucker could MOVE! It had the 351 Cleveland in it. The first time I drove it in the rain, I did a 360 in the intersection.

1971 F-100 with a 390FE. I bought it in high school from an old guy that used it for a farm truck. It even came with the hay in the box. Five years later, and many dollars spent on performance upgrades, it'll now keep up with a 99.5 lightning. I would love to put a stroked 460 in it, and then see how she goes!
