    Your first car --- (old topic revisited)

    This topic usually comes up every few years but it gives the newer guys a chance to respond.

    What was your first car ?

    Living on a farm I actually had two first cars.

    My first was a junkyard practice car my older sis bought for me for $90.00

    It was a 1956 Hudson Rambler (we're talking ARMY TANK)

    It wasn't street legal and I was too young to drive so it was just a practice "field car".

    My real first car was 1973 Pontiac LeMans.

    Got it in 1981-ish

    Even back then it was a total rust-bucket

      White 1979 Chevy Malibu Classic with a powder blue interior. Belonged to my grandparents and my older sister and I inherited it in 1988 or so. Leaked oil like a mofo, but it had plenty of giddy-up.

        1968 Volkswagen Beetle. I was glad to get it. I spent weeks cleaning it up as it was pretty gross from sitting up in my great uncles yard for a few years. My parents got it painted and reupholstered for me. After that it looked new. Not really cool though in 1994 high school times but I preferred it to the "shoelace express". My friends thought it was hilarious that I could put my book bag in the trunk which was up front.

          Early 80s Green Honda-matic, handed down from my uncle to my aunt to me. It was all of our high school car. By the time I got it my junior year in 1988 it was on its last leg. Had a removable sunroof though.

            1973 Plymouth Satellite. Had a 318 in it. Put bucket seats in and replaced dented fenders. Sold it and bought a 1973 Firebird.

              1981 Diesel VW Rabbit

              52hp sewing machine sized engine with so much room under the hood we could actually hide my sister in there. But dangnabbit I loved that Rabbit.

                '82 Lebaron convertible; white paint & dirty white top w/ light brown leather interior. I got it used in '86 or '87. Pretty sure the original owner had it at the Jersey shore quite a bit, because the floor was rusted through. I had Firestone pop-rivet sheets of aluminum in there so it wouldn't be a Flintstone car any more. Otherwise, it was a great ride. It looked just like this one.

                        I had 2 first cars, too. My ex purchased a 1975 Toyota Corolla for my to learn to drive. Well, it didn't happen. When we broke up, (the first time), he sold the car out from under me, b/c it was registered in his name. After we got back together, we bought another car for me, a 1980 VW Rabbit Custom (automatic). That one I did learn to drive, and it was registered in MY name. I sold the car myself following our divorce. It needed work and it would have cost too much to keep. I haven't driven since then. (1992)

                        'Cos I believe, I believe that I do,
                        Yes, I can see I believe that it's magic
                        If your mission is magic your love will shine true."

                              Mine was a 1973 chevelle, i bought it off of my brother about a year before I had a license so I was only allowed to drive it up and down the driveway. 30 MPH never felt so good!!!
