First car was a 1956 Oldsmobile(88?) that my aging Grandmother gave me in 1966 when she bought a new Plymouth Fury. She had put only 20,000 miles on this Oldsmobile in 10 years. I used this massive Green Oldsmobile as my Nebraska hunting car going after pheasants, ducks, grouse, quail. It was a real tank that I often got stuck taking it places it wasn't supposed to go. First one I bought was a used 1967 Camaro that screamed. Then got an orange1969 GTO Judge that I got more tickets with than I want to admit. It later got totaled in a hit and run by some huge truck. I cried over that one. First 4x4 was a 1970 Chevy Blazer that was terrible truck that broke down constantly. Oh do I still miss my 1969 GTO!!

 

Go to college then in 15 years you can buy a new Ferrari if you want.

 

People that have money are great people ,,,people that think they have money
are snob's. I know both types.

 

1974 Camaro 350cigot 8mpg at 55 mph or 80mph so why drive the
55mph speed limit,,,,and CB.

 

My first ride on 4 wheels was a 1989 Dodge Daytona, 2.5 4 cylinder with a 3 speed automatic; had 100 HP and 140 lb-ft of torque. I bought the car used with 10k miles on it back in 1994 for $5k. Wound up giving it to my friend 75K miles later (2002). All my freinds bet that the car would die on me considering that it went to BeaverRun, VIR and Pocono numerous times with a full load: 3 rail trailer with 2 sport bikes along with rider gear and ancillary equipment.

That Dodge worked HARD! Never let me down. Maintenance was super easy and cheap.

 

1962 MGA MKII.
Bought in '66 for $600.00 with 63K.
Still would have today, but my brother totalled it for me in '69
while I was in Nam.

 

I always liked the looks of the FJ55. It was so ugly it was attractive. Plus I never confused it for any other vehicle. Mine was red and white and bone stock except for the mud terrain tires I had on it.

 

I started with a red ford escort, '89 I believe it was... flipped it and got a **** brown camry that was great until it would only start 8 out of 10 times... Upgraded to a '95 Jeep Cherokee Sport and drove it until everything was busted but the engine, that inline 6 will work no matter what... finally I got my rover and hopefully it will out-last me.

 

1989 Red Ford Escort Station wagon...nicknamed Audrey or "the Mini Wagon" with lord knows how many miles.
I stickered the hell out of it and would paint on the windows during football Fridays. (Before anyone asks, no, I wasn't a cheerleader...I was a band geek! GO TROMBONES!)

GREAT car actually...except the fact that it shut off if I turned left too fast

Ahh...sigh. I miss Audrey.

Edited to add: My dad sold it when I went to college for $900 to a single dad with three kids...it ran for another 5 years for the guy that bought it. Yay Audrey!

 

Here is the impressive list I got in only 8 years of driving:
