What was your first vehicle?

I think this is a question, whether you like cars or not, you always remember.

Mine was a 1977 Buick Skylark S/R. It was a 4 door, red in color with power windows, locks, steering, and brakes. It had a 301ci V-8 engine. The coolest thing about it was I bought it in 1997 and it had 40,000 original miles on it. I was the third owner and the guy I bought it off of got it from an old lady whose husband bought it new and only drove short distances. He died and the car sat in the garage for a couple years before the second owner bought it.

So what was yours?
He who forgets will be destined to remember.

    1978 Chevy Caprice Classic. Silver with vinyl top. My mom's car. People in my neighborhood thought I was a gypsy cab. I even had one person get in back and ask me to drive him to another town during a rain storm.

    1973 Dodge Charger. $100. 93,000+ miles. 318cid 2 barrel. Had been in a fire (just the vinyl top burned), and not one body panel was in factory condition. :lol: But I did get my moneys worth out of that car.

    My first car was a maroon/purple 1967 Mustang 3 speed. I had so much trouble with it that I finally sold it for next to nothing and bought a beautiful 1964 Chevy Impala, Convertible, Silver and Red.....that was a wonderful car. Fun to drive. Plenty of room. Great times!

    I ended up selling that and getting i think a 72 super beetle...which I also got rid of.

    The old adage: Had I known then what I know now.....certainly applies here! ;)

    Classics! Little did we know then, huh? :roll: :D

    I believe it was a 1974 light blue Ford Pinto 100,000+ miles and it had a milk crate holding up the drivers seat. It gave me 2 years of great service before dying off a highway in Va, grabbed all my books and stuff and abandoned her. Betsy probably made great scarp metal, btw it was that Ford Pinto that BLEW UP if rear ended. :D

    A 2002 Smart ForTwo coupé, 45PS, 599ccm. Not really a "racing machine" :cry: Still driving that one. Before that I drove my boyfriend's Skoda Roomster. That one really gets me going on the highway.

    BTW: Does anyone know which car Eddie & co are driving?
