OT What was your first car?

[632 Regal]

im not sure of the name...but I rode Miss Daisey in it!

[Chris'91'525i]

Paid $150 for it in 1975 and drove it for 70k, then sold it for $450 in 1981.
Damn wish I still had it, there going for big bucks today.
Ford changed it to "fastback" style half way through production, I think mainly for NASCAR aerodynamic's.
Here's what they looked like in nice condition.

72 for about the same price.. One looked like this, the other was maroon

Nostalgia makes me older.... those cars were state of the art, the people today would say WTF is that? lol never seen nor heard.

got one of those in the carport now that at one time i had big plans for, 1967 122 euro model with one big carb instead of the twins that the us cars came with, if i don't get rid of it before i run outta other projects it may have a future with me yet, been under cover for 10 years now

'67 Volvo 122s 2-door...that's an Amazon to you non-Americans. I got it in 1995 and drove it for almost 8 years...

It looked just about exactly like this one, but I only had one set of foglights on it.

had it 3 months till i wrecked it.
then i bought a 87' nissan sentra, learned how to drive clutch in it, put 120,000miles on it, taught the (now) wife how to drive in it, bought a 89 toyota camry, traded sentra in on our second 89' camry (yes we had 1 maroon & 1 blue toyota's at the same time), second toyota tranny died,
then found my 87' 325e at a used car dealership & worked him from $1000 down to $400, 2 years later bought the 95' 540i/a & gave the first toyota camry to my father.

my wife prefers the 325e 5sp manual over the auto, but i did not teach her how to drive the family 27' model "T" yet.

Oh man, you should make some time for that thing. Not exactly the most advanced platform for performance mods, but stuff is cheap for it and EVERYONE loves them...when I had mine, I got nothing but appreciative looks from girls and nostalgic wistfulness from people older than me...

72 Super Beetle with 1200rwhp

1972 Vega GT 4-spd. Bought it from my brother in Jan 73 who had bought it new in Oct 71. Fold the back seat down and it was the perfect size for an adventurous college freshman couple! I remember feeling jealous in 1975 when I saw an add for a Cosworth TwinCam Vega that said, "1 Vega for the price of 2!" The mustard-yellow Camaro SS want-a-be finally blew the head gasket so I sold it and replaced it with a '66 Volkswagen Squarerback that I bought from my buddy. He said it was always on the rag...and he was right...I remember driving up 280 from my girlfriends place in San Jose one rainy day with a pair of dirty sox in one corner of the leaky sunroof and a pair of boxers in the other corner! Man, those were the days!

Mine was a 77 T/A then I got a 02. ( wish I still had it, damned oak tree)

A 1967 Triumph tr4a irs heavily modified. fun car easy to work on, But not much of a family car.:
