what was your first vehicle?

RE: what was your first vehicle?
I can only remember the first six:
'73 Plymouth Duster
'79 Ford Courier (I know, I know....)
'71 Ford LTD
'67 Buick Lesabre
'77 Chrysler New Yorker
'71 Opel Ascona
After that I went thru too many to keep track of. Always liked the cars from the late 60's/early 70's....
They're just easy to work on.

ORIGINAL: snowdude
Im thinking maybe Tech school, im not in college yet. i know i could get tech school free, being a direct descendant native American, but that's totally against everything i believe in, (im a hardcore libertarian). actually owning this truck and seeing how much i enjoy tinkering with it, has made me think about something automotive. still thinking something environmental, or architecture.
edit: i could afford a pretty nice Ferrari with the college tuition grandma and grandpa left behind for me

Im playing the "wait for the acceptance letters" game... its killing me,
But im thinking about going to a private school (High Point Univ.)and then going to Clemson for Grad school, they have a MRED program (Masters of Real Estate Development) and thats like spot on to what I want to do as a career.
buthey, if you do architecture I could hire you and we could have a Developer/architect/Rover alliance.
You down with designing a Rover off road course and Lodge???
haha good luck with everything!

To SDinDS, my dad still has my grandfather's 1970 Plymouth Duster. Bright red, white top, white interior, and 340 8 cyl. First and last "brand new" car Grandad ever bought.
To Camdisco24, development was fun for a while. I just got out of the land development side of the bizz. Designing/building a Rover terrain park would have made it much more interesting!

RE: what was your first vehicle?
Since 1998..
'87 ford bronco 4x4 with a huge chrome useless brush guard.
'79 camaro Z28 fully restored to original, all but the LT1 350.(not the best thing for a 17 year old)
'91 ford exploder a couple of new motors in that thing
'91 dodge dakota never should have gave that to my little brother, he sold it a week after he turned 16 for a big mud truck..
Finally the '99 disco II
Now that I think about it, every vehicle i've owned has left my possesion in better shape than when I got it..
