Mine was a 1978 Trans-Am. Chocolate brown, no firebird ensignia on the hood from the factory, 400 cubic inch motor. Smokey and the Bandit was still fresh in the mind of a young kid with a lead foot, and many adventures and near calamities ensued [8\|].

The first car I ever DROVE was my mom's old dark blue 72 Ford station wagon. Then dad taught me to drive a standard in HIS car at the time - a grey 78 Volkswagon Rabbit. (You shoulda seen the look on the mechanic's face a couple of years later, when I called daddy at work from the shop after the engine blew - and the first words out of my mouth when he answered the phone were "Daddy - the rabbit died.") The first car I ever OWNED (my name on the title, free and clear) was a light blue 72 Ford Maveric that I bought in 84, with the money I got from grandparents for highschool graduation. Owned that car for several years, and did a complete rebuild on the engine at one point - just myself and my grandfather. Made a lotta memories in that old hunka junk.

Mine was a '84 Renault Allainance. I got it at 16. It had a 1.7 liter engine. The dang thing barely had enough gumption to get out of its own way, but for a lead footed 16 year old. It was perfect. That thing went almost 10,000 miles without an oil change. I beat it to hell. It took exactly 11.00 dollars to fill it up, and it could go for over a week. Man the stories that car could tell. Wait, maybe it is good it couldnt talk. It made alot of trips to the beach, and lots of trips to the woods. I had alot of fun in that car.

A chevy slova with racing slicks.....the crank was doomed from the first day of ownership.

LaTigresse -> RE: What DID You Drive? (7/31/2006 11:54:43 AM)
I just remember that I had another Nova before the 72 that was older.....I don't remember the year. It was more boxy, kinda like the old Ramblers, another little 6 cylinder manual 3speed, dark blue. Great little car even after my exhusband decided to hop in, back it up......with the door still open. Hitting a fence post with the door and breaking the door off its hinges. The locks on the doors were worthless from inside. Imagine my 17 year old embarassment when at the grocery store I forgot and "opened" the door. Thank goodness a nice guy helped me pick up the door from the pavement and put it back on the car.

A Black 1967 Plymouth GTX with a 426 Hemi w/425 BHP crashed that doing 110, Then bought a 1969 Road-Runner W/a 440 6-pack, both cars would pass anything but a Gas station...

quote: ORIGINAL: HouseofBear 1964 Ford Falcon Mine was a '64 Ford Falcon! I bought it in 79 or 80. Loved that old rust bucket. I paid 150 bucks for the car, put 175 into the transmission right off. I drove that car for nearly four years. It never had a new tire on it, I'd buy the ones in the throw away pile behind the tire place and they'd mount 'em for me for about 5 bucks a piece. By the time I was using one quart of oil to every 10 gallons of gas I spent 150 bucks for rings, rod bearings, main bearings and gaskets and learned how to rebuild an engine and a carburator on that car (170 in-line six - I remember because I bought rings for a 200 and they were too big). I sold it for 200 bucks. That was the best investment I ever made in a car. She was ugly but MAN was she a peach. I had a '63 Fairlane Limited Edition (4 door) with factory air that was fun to drive (I called it the Land Yacht). I also had a '70 VW Bug for a while that always seemed to me to be like driving in a comic book. I had a '73 firebird that I loved, too. Old trucks so rusted out that you had to put plywood on the floor board to keep things from falling out. HA! This is a good thread. Nice walk down memory lane.

WyrdRich -> RE: What DID You Drive? (7/31/2006 3:46:16 PM)

quote: ORIGINAL: Evanesce In honor of the "What kind of car do you drive?" thread, I thought we should also tell folks what our FIRST car was. 1974 Blue (kind of) used Pinto Station Wagon. It was largely blue but it had an orange door, red hood and two opposing color mirrors. $1,100.00. ($73.61 a month for 18 months...zero down). I wanted a truck because I knew I could figure out some way of making money with it (hauling junk...etc.) but at 18 I didn't have the credit to sign for it myself and my Dad said "Son, any woman that goes out with you in a truck ain't worth going out with" to which I responded "Any woman that goes out with me because of what I drive ain't worth going out with". So, the Pinto it was....and lemme tell you...the chics just FLOCKED to that Pinto. NOT!!! (Thanks a lot Dad). In about 2 years (6 months after I had that piece of crap paid for) I bought a $6,000.00 truck (which by the way, in 1980 was a fairly decent little rig) stuck a rocking stereo in it and had many memorable nights at the ocean in that thing [8D]

justheather -> RE: What DID You Drive? (8/7/2006 5:51:59 PM)
Mine was a Turquoise Blue 1967 Chevy Chevelle my grandmother had kept in pristine condition for twenty years. I successfully drove it into the ground, then sold it to a sixteen year-old gearhead. Im hoping it is still alive and well somewhere, being treated the way it should be.

MistressOfGa -> RE: What DID You Drive? (8/7/2006 6:26:50 PM)
My first car was a gray 1972 Comet that I got at an auction for 100.00 dollars. It had so much play in the wheel that I thought I was going to drift off the road before I could make it home. I parked it at my boyfriends house and it never moved again. From what I understand, they didnt get it towed away for almost 10 years. I loved my 1972 VW bug. It was burgandy which is my favorite color now <s> and it was the best car I ever drove in the snow. It was plowing through when other drivers were pulling off the road. I miss it.

MsPoetress -> RE: What DID You Drive? (8/7/2006 6:31:29 PM)
Mine was a 1982 Toyota Starlet. They only made them for 2 years..... wonder why [sm=biggrin.gif][sm=biggrin.gif]

maybemaybenot -> RE: What DID You Drive? (8/7/2006 7:55:49 PM)
It took me a few minutes to remember the make of my first car. It was a 1970 Opal GT. I paid $600 dollars for it in 1974. mbmbn

WhiplashGirlChld -> RE: What DID You Drive? (8/7/2006 7:56:55 PM)
GIGANTIC Buick station wagon - uninteresting beige.

SirKenin -> RE: What DID You Drive? (8/7/2006 8:08:22 PM)
My first car was a 1977 Ford Granada four door, four on the floor with an inline six that I bought for $400. It ran great until you ran over a puddle. Ford used to be infamous for that.

pupofMoGa -> RE: What DID You Drive? (8/7/2006 8:09:08 PM)
I remember the first car of mine. It was a 2001 Chevy Camaro. It was black with t-tops and automatic. It was a bad motha'. LOL. It had a 3.8L V6 with Flowmaster exaust and 215/35/15 Khumo Esta ASX's on the road. For a V6, it ate up some bad little imports. I had the great joy of taking it onto Talladega Speedway and do some hot laps (If You Ain't First...Your Last!!!!). I hit about 115 in the straightaways and was pushing about 80 into the turns. I have learned to drive with the best and have no better joy then driving with my cougar, MoGa. [:D] For a teenager that loves NASCAR, Dukes of Hazzard and Smokey and the Bandit, there as no better ride. It served me well as the figurehead for my High School Soccer Hooligans with the venom green neon underbody lights and the skull and crossbone license plate. Truely a car to remember for the rest of my life considering I have a lead foot and never got a ticket[:D].
