What was your first car?

Mine was a 1976 VW Beetle in green. That car could go anywhere as long as it didn't bottom out, or need to get there fast. Especially in the mountains, lol

Inherited a 1977 Chevy Impala identical to this. Had 42k on it and wasn't anything special, but was reliable. Had A LOT of fun in that car.

First car I ever bought was a 1986 Monte Carlo LS...

Did it burn both rears? Mine only do the one wheel wonder but man did that thing do a hell of a brake stand lol

I don't really remember, but I think it did.  The smoke those cheap ass tires put out though was something else.  

An 86 Cadilac Fleetwod Brougham. One of the rear doors wouldn't open, the engine ticked like a snare drum and the shocks were mostly for show. I nicknamed it the General Lee. I banged my high-school girlfriend in the back seat soooooo many times!!

Dodge Polara that we could fit 8 people plus 4 in the trunk. Check the gas and fill the oil!

94 Ford explorer

My brother had an 87 SS also. Army shipped it to Germany for him and he drove it all over Europe. We visited him there and I drove it on the autobahn and got passed like I was standing still. 

We went to Berlin with it through the East Germany corridor, and eventually into East Berlin. The looks we got with that car were something else! 

Rusted out 71 Pinto that was my Dads work car. He handed me the key on my 16th bday. 

Thanks Dad lol

79 F150 300-6, 4 spd. Bought it from my orthodontist for $1000 and sold the plow off of it for $900. This was I think the year 2000 as a junior in H.S.

1976 Pontiac Grand Prix SJ. 455ci. Total dog, but a nice ride. This is not mine, but that's what it looked like. Mine had white interior.

68 Mercury couger. Not this one but one just like it.

hey that 2.3 engine stood the test of time

70s f 100. Whatever wasn't being used at the time on the farm.

Mine was a '68 Beetle. Upgraded to a '69 Mustang as soon as it got cold, no heat in the VW, don't even think about defrosting the window. 

 

My brother-in-law has an 87 Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe (Nascar style rear window) in his garage. Like brand new, I think it has less then 10,000 miles on it. Doesn't come out much. 

 

I had one of those for a while, but it wasn't in great shape, needed pretty much everything when I got rid of it. 

1985 Mazda RX-7 GSL. Was my Uncle's car he bought brand new . He passed away just after I turned 16 and left it to me in his will. 

 Not mine but this one is identical color and wheels. Fun car, wish I still had it.

i love rx7s. i had 2 old wedge style and a 1990 white one. i really like the old ones. so much fun, burning rubber is a requirement. see what they go for now? 5k for a junker. 

the 1990 , not mine but identical. i used to autocross it, got one first place. mostly ran a first gen jetta for that . 

basically looks like we all had first cars we should have kept

First motorcycle anyone….here is my old f2 traded my Mach z for it

i'm the strange guy that works at a motorcycle shop but doesn't ride. i was close when i was young , my buddy got hit head on by an old man. that did me.

Sick. I love the second Gens also. 

I didnt know what I had 

My stupid Dad hated imports and didnt understand the Rotary so when I blew the motor he was like just get rid of it.  Car was fucking mint garage kept . 

The only cool part is the car got bought by some Puerto Rican dudes and its a full blown drag car now. Tubbed, cage twin turbo 13B etc. More than I ever would of done so at least it lives on in its glory. 

I bought a Black 99 Z-28 6 speed LS1 after and it was my dream car at the time so I thought the RX-7 was worthless back in 2004. Ashamed to say what I sold it for.
