i went to high school with a kid that had a porsche 911 turbo has his first car then another girl had a hummer H1 as her first car...quite sweet

 

My first car was the amazing 1989 "Ninety-Eight" Oldsmobile. Drove it for 6 weeks and it broke down 3 times. At very, very, VERY unopportune times. Nothing like calling your mom from your phone in a park, and you need a ride, and so does your, uh, female passenger. It was a hand-me-down hand-me-down. As my dad got it new as a travel car, then they bought it and my mom drove it for a few years, then my older brother drove it for about 3 years then I got it. Well my brother tricked it out with bumps, dings, missing hub caps, and no maintenance what so ever.

Wasn't really too bad when it (and the CD player) was functioning. Since it was an old man's car, it drove real nice, had really comfortable seats, and was really somewhat quick for a v6 in a 4 door.

The only thing about that car was the ability to rag the hell out of it. Want to take a speed bump at 50? Try it! You make wicked air! My radio ceased to function (which is still mind boggling. I would have assumed an engine explosion, or oil leak atleast!) but regaurdless it got way more physical demands than my truck.

Somehow made it out of a big ol ditch with front wheel drive! Right around an area it had also inopportunely broken down. Which reminds me, it had broken down the first day I drove it. Got my liscense, and my mom needed something at the neighbors, just wanted to drive and took it 15 feet away. Wouldn't start back up.

Damn, lets organize the break downs. Liscense April 4th or something. Broke down that day. Then another day I illegally parked at school. And in a park. Erg.

OK, that's the end of the rambling. Cept that atleast that peice had some wood trim. Oh yes, and more comfortable seats, and better handling. It makes me wish I still had that to drive just sometimes. Twas gangsta!

Oh, and at my school, actually on my bus, two kids about 3 houses away both have supercharged saleens (blue and dsg). The DSG has had some problems (accident/blown rod). His dad also has a brand new Ferarri. Convertible. Red. Nuff said. Beautiful. Under 100 miles. And I would have sex with that car if the opportunity would arise.

 

1986 Mazda B2000 xtra cab.

Was a company truck, then my brothre got it on his 16th, and finally I got it on my 16th. A TRIPLE hang me down! I did have it painted black, threw some pimpin rims on it, a chrome exhaust tip, and a little cheap system. It was a five speed, and would cut off everytime I took my foot off the gas, so I learned the art of downshifting to go around corners. It also had a bit of a smoking problem when it would first start for the day. Thick white smoke would poor out of the exhaust. But I loved it, and hated selling it.


1st car - '86 Mazda B2000
2nd - '86 Jeep CJ-7
3rd - '97 Dodge Ram 1500 4X4
4th - '01 Dodge Ram 1500 Offroad 4X4
5th - '02 Ford Harley-Davidson F150 -- And my favorite by far!

 

Thinking back I must have looked like a giraffe getting in and out of my first car. It is one of those 6'4" dissadvantages, it was an '85 or '86 Honda CRX, white with these cool white sport wheels.

My conversion to trucks didn't happen until '94 when I bought my first F 150 (now on my third). Glad I made the switch!

The lightning is by far the BEST! What can I say I love my truck! It's also getting a 75 shot of NAWZ!

My first car I worked 2 1/2 years to pay for,plus HS grad money was to be a '58 Ford 6 cycl cheapie. When parents and I went to pick it up on a Fri. night, was just about to sign the papers when a bright white '56 Ford 'vert with 312 T-Bird V8 4 barrel, dual exhausts, fenderskirts, and spinner hubcaps saved me from obscurity and probably got me laid for first time! Helped pay my way through college with many runs from University of Mo. to Colorado to smuggle about 20 cases of Coor's beer back to school. Went with me to USAF after graduating college. Still mechanically sound, but sitting outside all the time, plus 4 harsh winters started rusting her out. Car passion had begun!
First new car '65 GTO 'vert Burgundy
'66 Vette 327-350hp red, both tops
'67 Vette 427-435 hp Marina Blue, both tops making Captain present. God, I wish I had those 3 cars today!

Beetles are pregnant rollerskates..

 

I was 19 and I borrowed $400 from my 25 year old girlfriend and bought a 55 chevy two door bel air coupe. Pulled the engine and built a 301 c.i. solid lifter motor for it. It was ugly but man it was fast for the day. Wish I still had it. Or the tri-power four speed 61 Pontiac Catalina I bought next. Or the 57 Chevy I bought next. Not to mention the 66 Mustang I bought next. O.K,O.K., I'll stop now.

 

'90 toyota previa - light blue
It's actually pretty quick with just one passenger and the middle bench seat out. I drove it to work everyday during the summer, thank god I "upgraded" to a volvo by the time school started.

 

1993 chevy v6 camaro in 2000 it had 170k miles the second motor, no AC and no power

My second was a 1964 chevy pickup. I bought the body for 250$ built a hot 350 at age 16 and built the truck from the ground up. I painted it metalic blue and am currently trying to sell it.

Would love to have the Falcon and the fish both back. Both would be worth some bucks and both be out of the ordinary....

My dad's 1955 Chevrolet Nomad wagon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Took my license test in it.

First one I truly owned was a 1959 Olds Dynamic 88: What a piece of *****! But the trunk held lots of beer!

 

My second car was a 1967 Ford Fairlane GTA. I sold it so I could use my moms 1968 Cougar with a 427 in it. That thing was damn fast. When she sold that, I bought a 1967 Mustang 390 GTA coupe.

My first car was a 1965 Mercury Comet Caliente with a 289.
