What was your first car?

Hmm...Let me guess - transmission problems?

Yep - but mine were self inflicted from doing hole-shots from park to drive. The other bad memories were wrecks, spin-outs because of the light rear end, some drug fueled runs with very scary people in the back seat and other stuff that hasn't passed the statute of limitations..:cross:

Many good memories and a few really bad ones as well in this gem... '79 Chevy Impala

My parents had an early 80's model. Was always great for scaring the **** out of people on backroads making them think you were the cops coming up on them

'93 BMW 325is. Spent more money tuning it up then it was probably worth. Fun as hell to drive though. 5-speed manual FTW.

1972 MG Midget. I spent more time working on it that driving it. Those twin carbs took forever to synchronize. But it was definitely cool.

1984 Ford Escort.........(POS)........

my first was a 73 Duster. Had a 727 Torque-Flight Trans, 8 3/4 sure-grip rear, and a 318 with larger than normal carb. Car would haul a** fastest I ever had it going was pegged at 120 on I-55 south of Jackson. Friend I was racing had his nissan pegged at 140. Not real sure how fast we were doing.

Ended up totaling it doing 90 around a curve when the A frame broke, rolled it 3 times.

The 10 gallon Gas tank, with my lead foot getting 8-MPG made road trips a pain in the rear though

Would liked to have that rearend. Waiting for my motor build to be done so I can get it on the road again

Damn. Those 4wd AMCs are another car I'd like.

My first car was a 1995 Escort Station Wagon, loved that thing. The first vehicle I bought myself was a 2009 Ford Explorer Sport Trac with the V8. Also loved that but it was my "stupid kid who just got a decent paying job so let's buy a nice/expensive vehicle" moment and I soon realized I didn't like high payments so I traded it for an 05 F-150
