My first car was actually a truck if you consider a base model 1995 S10 regular cab short box a truck..... That old 2.2L and borg warner 5 speed trans took some harsh beatings from my right foot.

 

1990 sunbird 4door 4cyl... blew it up in a month and a half!!

 

First car, 1988 Buick LeSabre Limited coupe with the series 1 3800 V6 pumping out a whopping 165hp and 220 lb ft of torque. Excellent car and one of the most comfortable cars I have owned. It was given to me by my parents when I got my drivers license. Really an excellent car with very little rust, sold it a year later shortly after getting my 82 RX-7.

 

[QUOTE=RXeckless;10735838]I just can''t see Jim in a VW beetle did it have flowers and a peace sign painted on it, but definitely in the GTO a true classic now. Although some people think the early VW's are classic's but IMHO one ugly car just like my GLC.
Not quite what I was after, for hippie Jim but close enough! Does This bring back memories.

You and Al are very mean , as far as memories go, "NO" i don't remember ....i only recall the car

 

Wow Jim like take a "lude" man, what happy to peace and love brother? lol

 

Sorry, Jim is this more like it!

 

a 1984 V6 fiero. Bought it for $1500. With the V6 and 4:10 gears and a 4 speed manual, it was actually a ton of fun. Too bad it broke on me like every single time I drove it. I sold it and bought my 10AE the next day.

 

1987 Pontic Grandam 2 door coupe SE. (HIt a car who was running a red light)
1986 Mazda Rx7 GXL (Hit a moose)
1992 Eagle Talon (Piece of $hit)
1988 10th AE (Money pit Now Garage Queen)
2002 Nissian Sentra (Daily)
1989 Turbo II. (Track car)

All those in that order. Still have the Nissian Sentra as a Daily. Will be unless I find a deal on a truck to tow the 1989 to the track...

 

I learned to drive in an 88 Mazda 626.
I also had the pleasure of borrowing my Mum's 89 Buick Electra Estate Wagon!!

And this is why my first car has been, and always will be the FD. Man, has it been 13yrs already?! Holy!

 

1972 Austin America. Quite an incredible car (in every sense of the word) that my sister and I bought in 1975.

 

My first was a 1968 Ford F250 camper special.

Sold it and bought a 1993 RX7 about 8 months later.

 

[QUOTE=JDK;10736466]Spoken like a True survivor from the Sixties Jim!!!..I bet you have a Jimmy Hendrix CD in your Car!..Favorite track is "Purple Haze"??......hahahaha!..Right on!

 

Technically, my first car was an 87 jetta carat. My father drove it home for me, and then I went to start it up the next day, and that was it. I never got it started after that, and sold it for what I paid. Ironically though, I have some memories with that car that would be difficult to explain.

The first car that I had when I got my licence was an 89 ranger, with the 2.9l mated to a 5 speed. It was as rusty as could be. We used to ash on the floor since there were holes in the back that assisted with the removal of them. Quite a few memories with that.

 

My 1991 Tercel, got it free from my uncle in grade 11 when i got my G2, with 502,000km on it (south carolina native car) and since 2008 i've gotten it up to 620,000km.. still running strong on the beat to **** 1.5 SOHC 12 valver.. has whiteline swaybars, and some other tricks to make lapping fun.

 

Jeez Chad, I have a 76 F250 Camper Special in my driveway right now. Mines a SuperCab with a 460 though.

Nice looking truck.

 

Thanks. I got it from my grandfather, he was a local brick layer. I did a hefty resto on it before I had my drivers license. I also had to get the trans rebuilt because he never put it into third. Three on the tree. Restored it and sold it to by an Red FD with R2 package.

 

First car. 1988 RX-7.


Current car. 1989 RX-7.


HM.

First car on the road was a 1987 Mercury Tracer though. I had three dead FCs and got the Tracer so I could get to all the RX-7s.

 

Ah, you're on here too, eh? You ever own an Rx? Oh, and Hi!



Ya I recognized ya, from 905 Rides

 

OOOOOOOOHHHHHH.......look at that beautiful green truck at the end of the line. I love Dent Sides.

Eric

 

I like that green truck too. I had a baby blue one! I rebuilt the inside of the box with chopped up washing machines!

 

My RX-7 (Tina). The car found me as I was looking for 300ZXs, which were impossible to find in a condition that was not 98% rust. Bought it from the back of a used car lot. They had an ad for the car in Auto Trader and I popped down to see if they might have any 300ZXs as well. Saw the RX-7, drove it (incidentally the 2nd time I had driven standard) and then bought it the next day. The rest, as they say, is history. Weird feeling knowing that I've owned the car for 12 years...

 

First car was a 73 RX3

 

Nice! I saw your xterra but figured I would only go say hi with my RX-7 with me!.. I've got a 82 'S' that im refreshing from a 15year slumber.. bought it from Can-Saf. And you're on nofr, black rx-8? .. I'm not on there anymore, i don't get along with the clowns running the show.. not my type of people.

but anyhow, nice to meet ya!!!!

 

Is this you before the long hair??

 

Here is a picture of my '76. It was built 3 months before I got my drivers license. Its amazing to go out in it and you see the difference between cars and trucks from back then and todays stuff. We have come a looooooong way.
