What was your first car?

I had a lowered 86 chrysler laser (Daytona). 4 banger with 120 hp on a good day.

 

70' Chevy k5 blazer. Wish I still had it. Great truck

 

93 Ford ranger with air ride on 20's. You know, when 20's were considered big

 

Fiat 127

 

1980 full size ford ranger single cab dual fuel tanks long bed small block V8 350

 

Used 1980 Datsun 280zx.

 

1986 Toyota pickup 4x4 22RE with stock turbo. Black with silver pin stripes.

 

When I was 15 I worked everyday all summer long for my dad, digging ditches by hand so that he would use some of his tax return to get me an old truck. When summer was over I asked him about the 1000 dollars he said he would give me for a truck. He told me that he spent it. I was so angry at him, because he got my brother a truck already (Ram w/ slant six). He told me not to worry that he found me a deal. He spent 300 hundred dollars and got me this '90 Chevy Lumina Euro. Turns out that the only problem was it was overheating all the time. He knew what the problem was but the guy that sold it didn't. There were two fans in the engine compartment. With a different fuse for each fan. The guy only thought there was one fuse. That Lumina lasted me until I joind the Army and then half way through my contract. Only got rid of it because I totaled it. Never gave me problems. My brothers Ram however, didnt last him a year.

Used for sure. My Laser had over 100k on speedometer and it no longer counted miles .Bought for $500, drove for two years and sold for $600.

 

'93 Ford F150 with 302. Bought it with 233,000 and it died at 247,000.

 

1974 Toyota Corona with an 18RC

 

1962 Chevy Belair

 

Mine was actually a brand new 1989 Kawasaki Nijna 600. Lasted almost through the summer until some old lady ran a stop sign and I t-boned her totaling my bike and did who knows what to her car. I was knocked unconscious but from the pics my dad took hers was totaled too. My replacement vehicle was a 1989 Camaro.

 

Looked just like this. What a $#!t box....

 

1980 4Door green Honda Accord 1982ish. Loved that car and the top speed was around 85 I tested it. lol

 

'88 Hilux 4x4 with the 22RE.

 

I had a 84 baby blue Honda accord with flip lights in college. Bought it dirt cheap because the car idled weird but just needed the ground wire reconnected.

 

1994 Nissan Hardbody 4x4. Before that I shared a 1977 Toyota Corona, car was built like a tank.

 

1971 Chevy Biscayne 4dr three on the tree. Paid $150.00 for it in 1981 but it was mine.

ETA- I grew up in Chicago so you can imagine what it looked like after 10 hard winters.

 

1999 Pontiac Montana. Saved up enough money to trade it in for a 2001 Honda prelude. Dealer took my van for a drive I guess to see how it drove and an 18 wheeler totalled my van. So they said you can have the prelude on us if you just squash it here. So I did lol

 

87 ford LTD. Transmission died two weeks of buying it.

 

similar but '84 300z with t-tops

this was the dash. good old days of 80's digital dashboards...

I don't have any pictures of my actual one anymore, but here is a stock photo of my first "car"


I got it in 2002 LOL

79 Chevy monza 2+2 paid $100 + $200 tune up including some used tires drove the piss out of it that summer(1987) blowd up the engine, parted the car out for $800 then picked up J3000 1 ton Jeep pickup truck that thing was awesome been in trucks ever since

 

Sweeet man I had 71 k5 for a couple years only vehicle I really regret getting rid of

 

It was the double wing/spoiler in the back that sold me in High school. Said to myself back then " No other kid have two wing spoiler on their car, only me!"

Not my actual car but looks just like it. Picture pulled from Wiki.

1972 Chevelle paid $125.00, with 63,000 miles.
