Post pictures of your first car ever owned
I thought it would be interesting to bring back some old memories.
I was doing a little cleaning today and found this pic of my first car ever. I owned this car about 20 years ago when I was in high school. 89 Toyota Corolla GTS. Mod's included SSR EX-C mesh wheels, HKS cat back exhaust, cat replacement pipe, cut Suspension Technique springs, K&N cone filter, Bored throttle body.

Loved that car....bought it 1976 when I was 16....I now have kids that age and I NEVER let them just walk out, with little driving experience and buy a car with that much HP! But I'm glad my parents let me....he he
BTW...I have a picture of this car with $0.58 for regular gas in the background!

Like this, but imagine more paint fade. It wasnt too bad when I bought it but I beat the **** out of it while I owned and then I sold it to my brother. Dunno why he wanted it, but he did.

Very clean car. My Grandma had an old Rambler station wagon that I wish I would have picked up.

Took me a while to dig this one up; scan of a polaroid. My very first car, 1970 Ford LTD Brougham. 121" wheelbase, 390 cubic inches, four barrels, and 78-series tires.
You could get 6 of your closest friends in there with you (three more in the trunk, for drive-in movies) and still haul *** like no tomorrow. In straight lines, anyway. Which is the only kind of road they have in Nebraska.
It had vacuum-operated doors that covered the headlights. Way cool, Maynard.
