My first car was a two tone green 1954 Chrysler New Yorker Deluxe with a Fire Power Hemi, this was in 1965. It was like a Patton Tank.

I had a '97 Fiero with the big a$$ spolier. It was black and was waxed about once a month if not more. Nothing would sit on the body, it would just slide off. Had some after market (of course!) rear quarter panels put on with molded side ram air scoops on each side which looked just plain awesome. Put some 265/70/14's on the front and 285/70/14's on the rear. Man, this car left a large footprint in the snow with those tires and they looked great being all beefy on such a small car. Got it up to 130mph once. Once. At that speed the lids for the retractable headlights started coming up on their own with out the lights, and the nose bra started it's own launch sequence. Man, I really miss that car.

My first was a 1976 nova,faded to hell silver paint with funeral home type hubcaps.
It had a 305 that fogged the mosquitos when you started it, but to me, it was the baddest freakin' thing on the road! Feel sorry for the guy that bought it, he is still probably finding panties,bras,earings, and a few other"elastic" things under the back seat! Ah, those were the good old days!

1980 Toyota Tercel. It sucked pretty bad when I wanted a 1969 Camaro. Dad said I would be dead in 30 days with one of those - he was probably right.

Mods: 14" wheels from Celica w/60 series tires.
Lowered 2.5" with chopped springs (!)
Solid sway bar bushings (steel washers)
custom made front spoiler .05" from ground (alum. flashing)
$50 of cheap-*** stereo stuff.
Blackout headlight covers & window tint.

Top speed: Original: 88mph, lowered: 92mph! LOL!

Kenster:

LMFAO!! Just kidding...heh...(wiping tears from my eyes)...heh...ahem, sorry.

I had a buddy that had a '74 Vega "GT". Not sure what the GT stood for, but in Colorado winters, that thing was a blast (we "fixed" it often).

It was an automatic and it did some pretty gnarly neutral-drops. Hey, we were kids. We fixed the rear end about a dozen times.
It got so bad, that while he was driving (not very fast in snow), I would pull his steering wheel until we crashed. We crashed often (into ditches, trees, bushes...nothing harmful or "illegal" garbage).

Oh jeez, that Vega brought back some memories.

Why didn't we do this in my ... ahem ... Maverick? It spent more time in the shop than the Vega did.

Here's mine:

1984 Oldsmbile Delta 88 Diesel! I got it in 1992 from dad with 120k on it. I ran it up to 170k and sold it before leaving for college. Being the car nut I am, I didn't let the fact that it was big and a diesel keep me down. I beefed up the suspension (Caprice cop car parts) and put nice wheels and tires on it. It was clean as a pin when I sold it.

Here are pictures way back in 1994 before the new owner came to pick it up (170,000 miles!)
