What was your first car?

Hellbent_Heidi

A friend's post (and this being "throwback Thursday" and all) got me thinking about this....

Mine was a 1977 Buick Lesabre (in 1986) that might as well have been a boat…four doors, a big V8 engine (gas was cheap then, so $10 lasted a while)…and it fit like 7 or 8 teenagers in it and head to the beach (and sometimes even a couple could hide in the trunk to sneak extra people into the drive-in movies).

I saw the odometer roll over 100K (in those days, the old cars rolled to all zeros after 99,999). Lots of good times and memories of that one....I still have dreams about it.

It looked like this..but red (and red interior)



So, what was yours?

1978 MG Midget:


Followed by a roomy boat like this one:


I still miss the Volvo wagon.

I don't know how to upload pics to forum posts... still! So I put a copy in my profile pic...
I can just picture tiny little you riding around in THAT Heidi hahaa

My first 'car' was a 1984 ford econoline service van from the family's oil company (got it in 1998). WOW what a large, noisy, piece of junk! I would pull into the lower parking lot at high school and the kids would PILE in the back, we'd smoke cigarettes and be late for first period constantly... I had to get rid of it after driving home from Happy Wheels at midnight and on the highway the lights short completely shorted themselves... wow, those were the days!

I loved this car. Nissan Pulsar NX (mine was tan)

That's SO much cooler than my old-man Buick was :laugh:

I followed mine with a 1984 Ford Escort that felt like a go-kart and immediately missed the safe feeling of the giant cruiser that I'd complained about for so long...

LauraMacNCheese

1990 Ford Tempo...total hoopty that only lasted a year before a transmission rod fell out.

Next car was an '89 Olds Cutlass Calais...I LOVED that car. My ex-husband totaled it 30 miles outside of Reno when I moved here. I should've listened to that omen...:grumble:

1993 Hyundai Scoupe. Total chick magnet...

Embarrased to say my first car was a 1974 Ford Pinto Wagon, exactly like this:

I had to buy the MG myself. My parents were content to pass on my grandmother's 1983 Buick Skylark to me when I turned 16. With the thought of that poop brown carbeast looming over me, I got my first summer job at 13 and keep working odd jobs until I could buy it. They're fun cars, but a b*tch to maintain. Every now and then I'll see one for sale, and I have to fight the urge to buy another one.

My dad had an early 70's (brown) pinto...the ones that were likely to blow up if someone hit you from behind :laugh:

Randy is that Z a 1981?

HappyNinjaStar

1982 S-10 Chevy in tan

Hated that truck, but it was really a trooper, made it through two teenagers and 25 years are hard use before it bit the dust

__RANDY__

was a 78 with an 81 hood

BrainsOnGains

1981 Chevy Celebrity

Babeskeez

I had a peachy yellow 1988 Cutlass Ciera. That thing was a beast.

_noob_

'85 Pontiac 6000.

It had a 2" ball though, and hauled the hell outta my 17" aluminum bass boat.

It was slow as **** until I dropped in a 327 from an old corvette.

Isn't this one of the password security check questions?

yes, but I never use that one. I use the one where it asks for my first pets name, but I'm not stupid enough to tell anyone about Ruffy.

jonnythan

A 1992 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham, maroon with maroon leather interior.

eringraczyk

1981 Olds Cutlass. Still have it. Thank God I met my husband or it would have been gone a LONG time ago! Dunno how to load pics, but it's still in awesome condition simply because we took care of it.

lucyricky2

Sorry no picture. It was a 1955 Ford

I was just thinking the same thing... we should sell this post to scammers

If I can remember how to post pictures, I will do it later. But my first car was a 1989 Mazda 323 (yep, that was before they restyled them and called them "3"). I swear that thing had only 100 horsepower after you wound up the hidden rubberband! But since my Dad bought it when I was just learning how to drive, I didn't complain too terribly much, lol.

stumblinthrulife

2002 Toyota Celica GTS

ccburn5

1991 2 door Geo Metro 3 cyl automatic with A/C. Car could barely get out of its own way. In the end, the stereo that was in it had more power than the engine. At one point fit 9 guys in it. More crap "went down" in that car than I can legally say..... lol

Christizzzle

Mine was a 1978 Pontiac Sunbird, it was an eggshell color so my friends called it the egg. The football players would literally pick it up and move it. Good times.

jensweighingin

1995 purple geo metro. I had the 4th cylinder, so I had air conditioning. Had to turn it off when trying to accelerate, though.
