OT: What Was Your First Car?

No thanks. The flame job doesn't work with all the original trim.
First car I ever drove was a 1954 Olds that my brother had parked. Just drove it in the driveway, I was only about 14. When I turned 16, talked mom into buying me a 57 Chevy. This was in 1968, you'd think a car 11 yrs old would still be a decent car right? Wrong, POS.
First good car I had was a 1969 Roadrunner, 383 4 speed. This was around 1973, what I wouldn't give to have the RR back. Beep, Beep!

This board could use a good car talk thread. There has to be a handful of gear heads here, I’d like to think.
I never had a car until I got my first real job after finishing grad school, which took three months, so I got a used 2010 Mazda CX-7
I had a 75 Nova SS (same body style). It had been spray painted with a dozen or so cans of Krylon spray paint from KMart.
78 Nova- Grandma's hand me down
Looked very similar to this.
I copy a photo from some site then hit the button beside the smiley face and paste the copied site
Hopefully that helps
Be worth some$$$$$$"$ ...wasn't my first, bit l had a 69 Roadrunner and l would surely like it back! Had a greatniece that that called me uncle beep-beep!
1996 dodge caravan -- had 160k miles on it when I got. And drove it to 202k.
Used to be able to slide into the drivers seat in one jump with the door closed and the window. At the time, my girlfriend was super impressed with that feat.

Navy blue 88 Camry. 4-cylinder, 5-speed. Later tinted the windows and added a $3,500 stereo that could be heard for miles. Cared for that car like it was a Benz.
Became a man in its back seat. :sunglasses:

I had a 71 Pinto. The floor board rusted out of it. It was originally lime green but Dad painted it orange with a mop.
Mine was a '69 Nova. Bought in 1979 when I was 16. Paid $500 for it, earned working at Fasig-Tipton in the summer.
I owned a 1985 VW Jetta. Charcoal-gray, 5-speed. Purchased new in Germany with US specs. Sold 3 1/2 years later while still in Germany. Drove it to France, Netherlands and UK via ferry. Below is a pic of the car with my Harley parked in front. I tried and tried and never could run it over 110 MPH on the Autobahn.
