in Chit-Chat
Got a conversation started with one of my MFP mentors about first cars. Mine was a 1975 Chevy Nova with Kelly Super Charger tires
on Crager mag wheels, Glasspack mufflers, and a four in rear lift kit. Paid for it myself with the money from my job bagging groceries.
I forgot to mention it had a awesome stereo with a 8 track player! :) For those of you that don't know what a 8 track is, refer to google. :)

    1968 Mustang, metallic blue with black racing stripes on the hood. Looked good, but it was like driving a tank :smile:

    1981 Ford Fairmont, my dad bought it for me - cheap. It was awful! Two tone blue and there was an oil leak INSIDE the car from the after market gauges mounted on the dash.

    Believe it or not, my fiancee purchased a 1990 Pontiac 600 LE a few months ago! To go to and from work, his nice truck was to much on gas, and other people kept hitting his car with the semi truck doors. ( The car just took a crap, but he will fix it.)

    Candy Apple Red, Rear Spoiler, Side Skirts, Front bumper ground effect, and had a tough growl.

    I had a K-Reg Ford Escort. 1992, apparently.

    I bought it when I was learning to drive the first time around, but I never passed my test. I used it once or twice as shelter when I had to sleep rough, but when I moved away I sold it. Still, as a shelter it proved its worth - it cost me £300 and I sold it for similar.

    Nearly half a decade later, I learnt to drive again. I bought a 1998 R-Reg Vauxhall Corsa. This time, I actually passed. It's a great little car, had 30k mileage when I bought it three years ago. It's up to almost 50k now - has had a few small issues, and the transmission is going so it takes longer to change gear (automatic), but it should last a few more years. If it's still going when I can afford something new, I'll donate it to a local teenager learning to drive. It's cheap to run and to insure, as far as UK cars go.

    No a/c in HOUSTON? F that noise. My a/c gets turned on when the temp hits 65. Much respect!
