What was the first car you ever owned? or your Favorite car

Canton Mike

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).

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.

Im not a big Jeep fan, even though I am currently driving an old 86 wagoneer. Its paid for

I really miss having one.

Mr. T

The neighbor kid has one identical to the one in the picture below, he has just knocked off about $10 K in value by removing the woody package and painting it solid brown. I have been watching him the past 2 weeks and Its killing me to watch him do it.

A lot of surfers are buiying up these old nastalgic old woodies to take out on the beach. check out the ebay pricing on these things it unreal.

Pumpkin Eater

That's crazy. Those are ok, certainly not my favorites. I like the Cherokees they built from around 97-2002 the best. Actually most cars from those years look much better than most of the new cars that are out today. I am not a fan of the smiley-face look that you see everywhere.

My first car was a 1959 Mercedes Benz like this one (except blue):

Then I had a 1967 Buick Electra 225 Convertible like this one (almost the same color):

I also later had a car just about like the one in the French Connection, same color and all, except, I am sure, without the beefed up engine:

My first car was a 90' dodge Dakota exactly like the one in the picture. It was slow as two old people fu**ing and I hit five deer in one year with it so it probably went to the scrap yard when I was done with it.

My favorite cars would be any mopars from the early 60"s to the early 70's especially a Hemi cuda.

Now getting into something that I may be able to afford some day would be the 86-87 Buick Grand National.

And Running high 13's right off the showroom floor in the 80's was something.

I also get kinda chubby for the WS6 ram air Firebirds
