    Man, I love old trucks, I'd really like to own one of those someday.

  • First car I ever owned, was a 62 Ford Falcon. GGG It was a hs grad present, lol...

    I always had dates "learn forward" so we would make it up the hill to Summit Mall and get to the movies...

    first car I bought, was my all time favorite.

    1966 metallic burgundy Chevy Belaire. A straight 250 six, 3 speed on the column. What a great car.

    I would have kept it, but the frame rusted out at 92,000 miles, and there wasn't a place to bolt

    shocks on anymore.

    But my Chevy Silverado 4x4 extended cab is an awesome machine.

    Yeah, I'd love to find one of those old trucks at an auction one day. Love em.

  • Mine was a 88 escort. It went from 0 to 60 in 8 minutes.

  • 1973 Camaro, 307 turbo charged.

    Below is the closest pictures on the web that I could find for that model.

    Very nice, T!!

    I bought a brand new, initial year (1979) Mazda MX6. It was a lot of fun but I sold it in '88 because the two-seater just wasn't practical any more.

    However, the first car I ever drove - and the one I miss the most - was a 1961 Impala - fins and all. Boy, do I wish I had that car now!!

  • My first car was when I got out of the Army in 1973, a I don't know what year "Austin America". 5 speed automatic POS. Broke down the morning after I got it. I payed for it by cashing savings bonds I had bought while in the Army. A few months later I bought a used 1969 Pontiac GTO. Fast as hell, but gas was cheap in those days. Kept it until I enlisted in the Navy. Great car!

    You can bet I wish I still had the thing....had a lot of fun in that thing.

    I don't have a truck at the moment...sold the little Chevy S-10 I had for 10-12 years.....just a weekend truck for lugging the 2-3 bails of straw I put on the yard each year...that sort of thing...I think I need to get another...just a weekend thing...or a redneck thing.....maybe I'll look for an oldie....I always thought the Chevy Apache was a pretty good looking truck....maybe a mid 60's model.

  • o ya lol my first car was a 95 ford escort wagon lol

  • My first car was a 1964 Corvair, 3 speed floor shift with the longest "throw" between gears I ever saw...it was longer than column shifts! LOL

    Second car was a favorite I bought in '69 after Army discharge...'66 Plymouth Barracuda fastback with auto transmission & 273 engine (I THINK that's right).

  • 1989 chevy celebrity. 2.8 v6, a lot of balls for a grandma car.

  • 99 Mercury Cougar.

    I miss those models now ...

  • This was the best car I ever owned, a TVR Chimaera 5.0 litre - awesome car. Stupidly fast with an engine note of pure heaven.

    A far contrast from the 60mph top speed Renault 5 first car!

    The TVR was a hand made car from the north of England, I believe it failed the safety test for export to America.

    I love Pick ups, old ones like that are the epitomy of America for me! I'd also love one.

    I did look into importing an old classic mustang from new mexico once but I figured that it would just fall apart in the British weather.

    1965 chevy nova. Grandma hooked me up after alzhiemers made her 4 years old again. only mod made was adding an 8 track tape deck stereo with some speakers

    in the rear deck. 3 on the tree and all was good in the hood. loved to cruise in the ohio countryside with the sticky red bud chronic

  • 1977 Silver Chevy Impala. It looked like your Grandfathers car which probably saved me from a few DUI's. No cool long haired young kid would be caught dead driving that thing....hey wait....what did I just say?

  • 1957 Chevy. My dad bought it from a guy in Seven Hills for $300. He told me that i couldn't drive it until i could pay for the insurance. It sat in the driveway for two weeks intil i got a job at a grocery store. That was in 1973.
