DatDoug Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 My first car (truck) was a 64 ford F-100 longbed pickup with 292 Yblock V8 and 4speed with the granny gear. Ended up blowing the motor on I-5 coming home from the Deming Logging show. Quote Link to comment
djlotus Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 I wish I could say that I had some cool story about an older first car, but being only 21, that's kinda hard. The funny thing about finding my car is that when I contacted the guy with the ad he only lived a block away from me. Go figure Quote Link to comment

RacnJsn95 Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 My first car was a 71 Chevelle, drove it for 3 months, then parked it to build a sweet new motor for it. After the Chevelle got parked I got my Dad's old 79 510 wagon. That was a sweet ride... My grandpa bought it in the mid 80s, gave it to my dad in 1994 for his 35th birthday, Dad drove it untill 2001 when I got it. Wish I still had that car. Quote Link to comment

CharlieBucket Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 83 civic hatchback, 4 speed. slow car. but after i finished summer school:lol: i got my 1994 Mitsu Mighty Max. i had some crome 15" with low profile tires. what's funny is i didn't understand wheel/tire combos. i guess i wanted 17 or 18 with low pro tires and didn't know it, but the guy convinced me to get 15" wheels. but i still got the low profile tires, which looked a little weird considering i could have fit much bigger wheels!

1lo620 Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 My first car/truck was a 67 dastun 521 J13, beat to hell got it from a cook at a restaurant where i was a dish washer. Paid $300 drove it for about 3 months, engine blew up, and I sold it to the junk yard...(sorry didnt really now much about Datsun then) My Dad then gave me his 81 VW Caddy(rabbit p/u) and I had that thing up until 6yrs ago, when I totalled it. It had over 250000 miles on it when it finally gave up. ANd then I put a 16V Sirracco enigne and tranny in.

ggzilla Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 It seems there is a correlation between how nice your 1st car is, and how soon it gets wrecked ... Quote Link to comment
LAYEDOUTB2K Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 at 14, the first vehicle i bought was a '64 NL320 for $50:D. still been holdin on to it(7 years) for the right time to start on it. my second vehicle(1st that i drove) was a '77 280z that i paid $125 for. got it running and driveable and drove it for a week after i got my license, then the insurance company sent a letter saying that i couldnt drive it because it was a "sportscar". even though at the time, my 17yo brother was driving an 11 second maverick and had no problems.

pope_face Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 First car was a '69 Mercedes-Benz 230... I never got to drive it though, it had too many issues. Ended up fiddling with it for about a year and eventually just gave it away. It was a cool looking car though... My second car (first car I actually bought and drove) was an '84 Honda Civic GL (Grand Luxury?). It was a little grey sedan that I paid $500 and drove the hell out of... almost. It was a three-speed semi-auto that wouldn't go faster than 145 km/h (downhill, with a tailwind), but it would do 80 km/h in first gear... I remember tearing up the side of a mountain in first gear, doing about 75, pushing 8,000 rpm. I took it everywhere... even offroading. It got hit by a truck one day while it was parked next to my work... insurance company wrote it off. I still miss it. Quote Link to comment
