Your first car

[budlover13]

My Dad had a 74 dodge van.
I would take that engine cover off and drive around.
As a kid that was just cool to look down at a 318 doing it's job.
That van did hellish burnouts.

I currently drive a 1992 Dodge D150 with the 318. Have the 5-speed manual. Really wish I had the 5.9 Cummins.

Very fun and utilitarian truck.

Good stuff here. Bought a '68 Buick Lesabre 4door sedan in HS FOR $300. The stories it could tell. Stock...350. It did 115 mph without pushing it.

Second car though was my pride and joy. 1972 Datsun 240Z. Canary yellow. Fun in curvy roads...replacement parts kept me working fulltime while going to college....but man the babes liked that car. Totalled by van in wrong lane and me with no options. Fucking van had snow covering much of windshield bottom, He could not even see me in that low rider. Spent a morning in jail for grabbing him by the collar and bouncing him off his van. Was Not just the car, but his attitude. Pics in boxes somewhere ...will find something.

1986 Chevy Cavalier..I don't know how i didn't kill it..i used to put it in Neutral, floor it and drop it into drive at every stop sign or light i was at. Probably the whopping 85hp keeping it all together...

I rebuilt that thing at least 5 times after wrecking,,I rolled it 3 weeks after getting my license, rear ended a Lincoln about a month after that, stuffed it into a snowbank, rear ended a truck, and me and my buddy..who also owned one..used to play bumper cars in parking lots with them..I can admit now it was probably one of the funner times i had with a car..I really wish $500 road worthy beaters were still out there..I'd still be doing that stupid shit..lol.

Cavaliers, Celebrety. Pieces of fucking shit, and I'm a chevy guy
I had a gold chevy celebrity The fucking tranny went out, I pulled over on the 101. popped the hood. It was the night Tyson bit Hollyfields ear. It was late, so I couldn't see shit! i proped up the hood, remember it being hot as fuck. i took out my lighter to get a look see at the transmission dip stick.
Lit the lighter, and that god damn celebrety spit out the hugest fucking fireball at me. Threw me back many feet. Burned the fuck out of one side my face. Thank god only 2nd degree burns. Unbelievably bad luck rite there.

Don't worry Char we can get an exorcism done! Bonding with an AMC!! Follow Nancy's advice and just say no to Gremlins!

1978 Ford LTD II, widest or longest car on the road. This car was beyond a POS, it was downright dangerous. My parents bought 3 cars in their lifetime, and we didn't drive any of them. They were both from Manhattan and never learned to drive, but they thought if they bought a car they would learn. Which they never did. This Ford was the last car they bought, and had been sitting there for a few months, so I bought it from them for $500. It must have been in a major front end collision, because I'd come to find out that the entire front end was made of thick bondo. Also, the grill was simply a flat sheet of steel that someone gouged out some air holes by hammering in a chisel and prying outward. The result was the UGLIEST A-Team special you've ever seen. I decided to enhance the ugliness by putting in a truck horn that required a compressor, and left the original horn in. It was a major third along with a minor second, pure dissonance, and it was LOUD. Freaked everyone out. I was frequently pulled over by cops wondering if it was road worthy. It burned as much oil as gas, and the tires were completely bald, so if it rained it did not want to come to a stop. I got in SO many accidents, back then the law didn't require insurance. I once hit a guy on pcp crossing the street, he ran right in front of my car at the last second, and he disappeared so quickly that I thought I ran him over. Turned out he was airborne and landed about a hundred feet away. Cops said it wasn't my fault, but I was traumatized. The next morning I had to clean some blood off the sharp, A-team grill, and had to pick pieces of leg flesh and denim out of the grill holes. Disgusting. I used to drive to university downtown, and would park it anywhere. I'd get about 3 tickets per week, and had racked up over 3 grand worth by the time they took my car. Back then they just impounded your car and didn't come after you to collect the rest of the money, so that was a good deal. They should have taken it earlier, may have saved a few lives...

I am a horrible person. I laughed myself silly over you hitting a guy on PCP!

Being my first car i was unaware that tranny fluid was highly flammable. One time i went to check my fluid and it dripped onto the hot exhaust and POOF! FIRE!!..I had no extinguisher or water or anything, so I'm standing in a wal mart parking lot pissing on my car trying to put the fire out..it went out luckily..fun times.

 

[R1b3n4]

Why do they make the US version of certain cars so ugly? just flicking thru the thread and both the cavalier and the chevette are both a lot squarer and uglier than the EU version etc

In my case, i think it was vapor lock. It's what a couple mechanic friends of mine think it must have been.

1989 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham D'elegance. Wasn't my first car, but probably my favorite. There a story about me sliding it sideways through downtown Providence RI during rush hour...but I will disavow any knowledge of it..lol. Has to be the toughest car i ever owned, I used to " park" in front of my friends house by driving into the telephone pole in front of his house at about 25-30mph...that bumper barely had a wrinkle in it..I had to stop doing that after i knocked the power out at his house..lol. I was rear ended twice and never had so much as a scratch on the rear bumper..one guy totaled his VW...i had nothing.

lol it was a tank! I want one now...I'd chop and make it into a mad max car

 

[dirtyho1968]

I had a shitty 60- something dodge colt. It ran and I saw many early 80's metal and punk shows in it.

This is it..i can't believe i had a picture!! Pontiac Ralley II's with raised white letters, a 3" cherry bomb exhaust and a 4" cowl( installed very poorly, i think it had like 4 sheet metal screws holding it on..lol). You can see how the grill came loose from me hitting shit. I bought it at action for $400 put a hood and fender on it and drove it for like 5 years until the timing chain let go..i still miss her. If it didn't die it was getting air ride and a motor upgrade..just bad timing.
