First car/truck/van that you ever bought.

[Flag Guy]

First car driven: 1989 maroon Chevy Celebrity station Wagon
First car that wasn't origionally my parents: 1994 Chevy Corsica. Silver when purchased, Red and Gold when sold :biggrin:
First car that is soley mine: 2007 metallic blue Hyundai Elantra (I've had it for 3 weeks now and I love it!)

In between the Celebrity and the Corsica I drove a blue 1974 AMC Hornet that belonged to my great grandmother (after it sat in my grandparents garage, then my dad drove it, then I got to drive it until something in it gave out and my parents decided not to put more money into it - that thing was a freak'n tank)

66 Chevy Impala.

Great cruiser.


Great car for $500.

I turned 16 in 1991 and bought a 1980 Ford Mustang for $500 from my brother-in-law. It was Poop brown, 4-speed manual hatchback. Had the metal shutters on the back. I loved it. A tree fell on it and put it out of it's misery shortly after I bought it, then I discovered a Dodge Daytona that was kick-arse.

Lost my virginity in the Daytona, while driving, good story..........

You guys are all pups, my first car was 1 pink and white 1959 Ford Fairlane, 4 door 332 V8. Oh and it also had a pair of wide whitewalls.

Bit the dust on a dead end street in Grand Junction, IA, December 1966, 3:30 am.

I didn't buy it personally, but my first car was a 1977 brown Monte Carlo. The thing had balls but it only lasted a year then pooped out.
.

My first was a 77 Monte. White with a red top and a sweet 8 track

My very first vehicle that I had was '79 Dodge truck. That thing was a beast. That truck as built like a tank. I loved the truck. Was not the best looking but it got me where i needed to go. The best part was the cherry bomb for the exhaust. You could throw it into first gear get up to about 20 mph and let off the gas and it would crackle and pop. It was great

Folks bought me a '71 camero when I turned 16. Those were the crappy looking ones. Had a lot of trouble (mechanical) and it was more than I could handle to keep it running. Traded it even up for a 73 Buick LeSabre. That car ran well for a long time.

First car I actually spent my money on was a brand new Chevy Cavalier. 1981. 42 mpg with a manual transmission. Burned it up in a garage fire. Since then all I've had are crappy family vehicles. :mask:

It was 2 years in the making but my first car was a 1970 1/2 Z28 Camaro similar to this one. Great Father/Son project- my biceps were sore for months from all of the wet sanding needed to buff the 14 layers of paint. Not a great college car so I eventually moved on to the luxury of a 1982 Ford LTDII (now that was a chick magnet:mask

[zumbro clones]

'72 Chevelle (used) with 60k miles, 350 engine, 2 door, metallic blue with a black vinyl top, air shocks and black interior with vinyl seats. $1200 in 1978.

 

[CyPlainsDrifter]

1973 Dodge Charger SE. Black paint, black top, black interior. Very sweet ride and I sold her to attend ISU. I miss that car.

 

[IsUaClone2]

My first car was a Sunbeam Alpine (can't remember the year probably late 50's or very early 60's. Ran a rod through the engine block 36 hours after I got it. Had to pay as much for a replacement imported engine as I paid for the car in the first place.

Still have my second car; a 1966 Ford Fairlane convertible which I bought in 66 when I became engaged to my wife. Still have them both. 55,000 miles on the car; not nearly as many on the wife.

 

[Angie]

1985 Buick Century with a rack of bull horns attached to the front bumper. The car was amazing for its ability to hold 13 high school kids and still be able to drive it (4 in front, 7 in back, 2 in the trunk). It would shake so violently when you got it up to 85mph (top speed)!

I got an '82 Century (grey) in 1995. No bull horns... but you could actually bury the needle on that thing so that you couldn't see it at all!

 

[cj0227]

'83 tan colored Buick Century. Worst 3.0 6 cylinder ever made. Learned alot with that car just keeping it running. That would have been in 1993.

 

[Erik4Cy]

1996 Green Ford Taurus. boring, but never gonna complain at the pump.

 

[Iastfan112]

First Car: Blue 1996 Mercury Sable: not a bad car I enjoyed driving it and overall not too many problems till the transmission went and it was worth more than the car(had 180,000 miles on it)

First Car I bought: Red 1988 Grand Am: $100 dollars and was the car I learned how to fix things on: needed new shocks, tires, alt, battery, and circuitry fixing(honk the horn and you blew out all the interior lights) Definately a learning experience. Oh this thing was a beaut, rust holes, windows that were very tough to roll down, if it was very cold, say 5 degrees or below its liable not to start. Now driven by my brother. I was impressed though despite being a 4 cyl I got it up to 110 mph and for a 20 year old car that's pretty good, was shaking like crazy though.

Current vehicle: 2003 Ford Ranger. Good except for gas mileage.

I had the typical "kid's first car" that I got to beat to hell. It was a 1981 Pontiac Grand Prix with the diesel engine swapped out for a V8. Yikes. What a death trap. Brought it home and tested the wipers to only have the passenger side one fall off. I reeked of gas for nearly 18 months.

How do you legally drive a with a couch in a LeSabre?

If couch=bench seats then ok.
If couch=sofa then wtf!

But does it fold out? You would think dad's would no better then to buy their daughters big cars with bench seats. IF I ever have a daughter she is getting a two seater with a BIG center console...

Couch=Bench Seats. I think I had up to 7 high school girls in there at once.

I was a lost cause. They knew that a car would not make a better or worse kid, so safety and hauling capacity was their priority. Oh, and cheap insurance.

'76 Nova......262. Could not get out of it's own way. Got it up to 95 once, and then it just died and we coasted to a stop. I had to drive in reverse for about 10 feet and drop it in drive to light up the tires.

That has to be about the funniest thing I've read all month.:biggrin:

Good one dude!
