First Car You Drove.

[stonebreakerwasgod]

I got my first car when my dad bought a Datsun b210 Sundowner (hatchback) from a colleague at work for about 400 dollars. It was orange, and we called it the pumpkin. Not exactly a chick magnet, but it worked.

Here's a peek at what it looked like.

[stonebreakerwasgod]

Going from the pumpkin, to a Toyota Tercel (white) was like I won the lottery.

[Lynch]

i got a honda accord. your story is way cooler than mine

[stonebreakerwasgod]

Bastard. :)

[Lynch]

id almost rather have a sweet first car story to tell. i envy you stoney

[notredomer23]

used 1997 chrysler concorde. for 3 grand and it only had 50k miles on it at the time.

[IrishCalves]

My first car is still up on jacks in my garage :mad:.

[irishunclebill]

1964 Candy Apple Red Ford Falcon Convertible with a white vinyl top. I was the third person in my family to inherit it, so it was on it's way out by the time I had it. Used to go into the gas station with it (in the days of Full Service) and tell them to check the gas and fill up the oil. Great car, used to be able to drive it sitting on the top of the front seat with the top down. This of course was only done on picnic type grounds after mucho rounds of Schmidt's drafts from the keg. One day I pulled into a gas station and the owner ran out and offered me a $1000 bucks for the car which was not much less than what it was paid for brand new. I turned him down, a candy apple red convertible when you are 17 is worth a lot more than $1000 bucks. Anyway, the next week I pulled the car out onto my street and all of a sudden the steering wheel was not moving the wheels. The axle had rusted and fell clean off the bottom of the car when I first turned the wheel that morning. LOL, I would have been dead if that had happened on the highway going 60. The car was too old to get replacement parts for so I lost the $1000 bucks and my chick magnet in a matter of a week. Losing the car was much harder to take, man I loved that car, had a lot of great times in it.

Thanks for the memories, Stony.

[Svoboda]

1984 Chrysler LeBaron with 200k on it. Drove it hard for 3 years and put well over 50k more on it. Got it from my parents for free after my mother drove it for a period of time. Ultimately sold it to a junkyard for $50.

[irishunclebill]

This is a '65, almost identical to the '64.

[irishunclebill]

or maybe this was it, OOPS!

91 Carolla. I forget the miles when I got it, but it didnt matter what I was told. It probably had 500K on it when I got it. Everything on it was A P.O.S.

The ONLY good thing that came from that, was I hit my future ex girlfriends car with it, at school.

Eventually it died weeks later after a rainy night and a fire hydrant.

I think my parents put a life insurance policy on me, and told me to drive that deathtrap.

Oh man. Both cars to ex's? - Rough.

I told this girl that I went out with "One day I might love a woman, but she would be second to this jeep."


BTW, 'tonneau' is what I think youre looking for.

[Sir John]

Yep thanks for the ton tonn whatchamacalit. It was coll with top down It had snaps all around and the this white ton o heck thingy could unzip 1/2 front just for the driver, rest closed.

Fav is still the 1979 rall Sport. I neglected to say that back then I had a ***custom T top installed Just $800 more 1979 dollars. Not the puny T top from factory this was door to door chrome and tinted glass. I was king when I drove that around:D

[stonebreakerwasgod]

None of you can feel what I had driving around in the pumpkin. Arms hanging out the window, seat stuffing coming apart, 8-track on the dash.....I was prince of the city. Of course my head was ducked low so nobody could see me, but....

[paddyman]

83 Silver Camaro with dual exhaust, red vinyl interior and a stick shift between the bucket seats. It was all steel from the bumper to the fin. Heavy as hell and damn near impossible to steer ( no power steering). Lots of gediup. Loved driving it.

[pani_nasz]

1969 Chevy Nova. Bought it from my sister for $1000, and eventually sold it to a kid in Chicago because I needed plane fare to San Francisco. He souped it up (e.g., air scoops), repainted it (metallic blue), added chrome conspicuously, jacked up the hind end, and generally had it running much finer than I did. SF fizzled and afterwards I wished I had kept the car.:(

[NDGirlzRock]

1980 Buick Rivera. It was the bomb. I helped paint it. It had an 8 track when I got it but I switched it out for a tape deck. Man that dates me!!!

[ND Fanatic]

1974 Cutlass Salon. White w/ Maroon interior

[Sir John]

That's funny Calves:D

I do recall that the owner of Liquor World here was in his store and really happy and chatting up this expensive $$ Lexus he just got. He eagerly asked about six of us to go out in the parking lot with him to look see. There was the annual Hot Rod show in town that week, and when we went out the door three Rods pull in 34 Ford etc. Everyone surrounded those Rods admiring them and asking questions. He's in the back sort of wailing 'Doesn't anyone want to see my Lexus?.'

Someone said who cares? Now these are cars.

I would have guessed a horse and buggy, John. ;)

[scooper]

I first drove a Ford van for a couple months until I could scrounge up enough to get myself a vette. It looked a lot like this.

[HoffVir]

Learned to drive n my mom's 1996 Buick Park Avenue, drove it to high school my soph year. I hated that friggin boat.

[stonebreakerwasgod]

Why, weren't you the cat's ass. :)

[HoffVir]

Why, weren't you the cat's ass. :)

It was a goldish/champaign color too. Hated it, felt like I was 70 years old. The rents got the "family" (ie me) a Honda Accord within 4 months. Much better.

[stonebreakerwasgod]

Waah, Hoff had to drive a free car. Back when I was a kid, I had to round up the horses to take a ride.

Besides, at least you had a real rear seat. My only rear seat was the horse's booty. :)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, I know. There's a reason for that though. The rents wouldn't let me work while in school.

[stonebreakerwasgod]

Well...my parents marched me and my bro down to a pizza place and said she already talked to the manager, and that we were starting in 3 days. 2 years later, and watching beer and drugs being used at nite after closing, I finally left for better pastures.
Consider yourself lucky!

[jfschellcrna]

a 73' datsun stationwagon. the color was very similar to that of untitled projects avitar. it was held together with duct tape (my fathers idea). man stoney, those old datsuns were made with the shittiest metal, but you couldn't kill the friggin engines.........................

a nice black toyota celica with a great sound system...nice looking automobile for an impressionale 17 year old...bought it on an "impulse buy", and w/out consulting/running it by Pop..."well", he said, "good for you-just dont park that foreign piece of shit near THIS house"...it broke his heart, so i sold it a month later...got a oldsmobile firenza from a guy he worked with and had the damn thing for about 8 years...

[mlcspinner]

I didn't own my first car until I was out of college. I can't tell you what it was but the lights would pop up when you turned them on. cool :cool:

[littlerick77]

First car I drove was '81 Datsun 510 Station Wagon - straight pimpin'. Even had 12 inch subs running off amps under the seat. Even had the luggage rack too....the ladies loved it.

First car I owned was a '93 Ford Probe GT - I think it was motortrend car of the year in '93. Got alot of looks in the early years. When years went by, the whole quality issue came into play and it fell apart. Sold it in a forced sale for $500.

[Akron Irish]

1985 Olds Cutlass -- Maroon on Maroon. It was a weet car, only got 12 miles to the gallon though so I kept it local.

This is a 710 model (I guess the 510 wagon was "limited production") but it's pretty damn close:

You guys are making me think back. I had a friend Donnie he brought A carol Shelby.....He just got married and was pumping bucks into this red Ford. He put in three 2 barrel carbs in tandem and then a racing cams. He took me for a spin on interstate 70. Petal to the metal it was pop, pop, pop with the carbs opening as he really ground it out. Careful of other traffic.

There was then this "BOOM" and from the tail pipe came all this white oil smoke covering everything behind us.:D We coasted to an off ramp and donnie is repeatedly saying. I don't think it's anything seriously wrong do you? I said Don Your %^$ed you blew your engine, yes Buddie something seriously is wrong. Tow truck was no problem, his screaming wife was.:D

[rdrdreamer]

1966 Impala Super Sport. Still had that new smell about it.

A new 1974 Nova SS marron with black interior with a 305 4 on the floor rear end jacked up and 14" slicks and a very loud 8 track.............whoops that was my brothers first car mine was a 71' Chevy Impala red exterior and black interior with an am/fm radio, my uncle won it playin' poker and sold it to my dad for $1,000.00. I'm not sure that I am over it yet. It was actually a nice car but not when you are 16 and when you are expecting something like a Nova SS.

My two young girls were on the side porch screened in watching as daddy started the car. Boom......

Same huge oil smoke surrounding me and car. My two girls are jumping up and down clapping their hands madly and happily.

With out one curse word I said "Girls daddy is not happy don't applaude."

Actual event I are no mekanick. Plus lotsa rottin luck.

[stonebreakerwasgod]

No, but it's a hell of a story!

[NDgrandson]

OK, this post will live forever so here's mine...

1984 Thunderbird elan. I got it in 1994. It had a V8, but it looked like a twinkie. Automatic seats were a plus but the best part about it... I kept a down comforter in the trunk. Que the music... (Barry White, Isaac Hayes)

My grandpa bought it new in 1984 and it still had the ND decals on the back window. Also in the back window were the numbers you get after placing your order at Carl's Jr. I had 23 for football and basketball, 9 for baseball and 69 for well...

Shortly after getting the car I was a bonehead and was driving home from the USC / UCLA game at the Rose Bowl with two of my football teammates... in 2nd gear. I messed it up and my dad picked us up in Diamond Bar.

[stonebreakerwasgod]

Ouch. Tough look about being in second gear.

[stonebreakerwasgod]

My 2nd car was a Toyota Tercel. Not too bad...HUGE upgrade from the 'Pumpkin'. Bad thing..it was lightly armored and a driving deathtrap. I gave it to a buddy who was in desperate need. Within months, the car was kinda trashed, and driving on three tires, and one donut. Yikes.
Feast your eyes, boys.

[daytonirish]

Mine was an 82 Mustang,kinda small but we always seem to manage to fit 5 people in it. This was back in my partying days, so after my mom had borrowed it one day she came in and asked me what was growing in the back seat area. Honestly not knowing what she was talking about me and my brother investigated. Much to our surprise we found that by throwing small seeds onto the floor area and spilling enough beer you could grow an illegal plant through the carpet in the back of the car.!!

It's still a 1979 Ford Pinto...147,000 miles when I bought it. BOOYAH!

1981 Ford Mustang. It was 12 years old, but the thing was in perfect condition. It had t tops and was candy apple red. My dad bought if for my older brother, but while he was away at college, I got to drive it.

I ended up hitting a tree going about 50mph and totaled it about 3 months after I got my license. The good thing was that I was ok, and the car was so smashed up, that my dad and brother weren't even mad because they both thought it should have killed me. So the lesson I learned, other than always were your seatbelt, was if you are going to wreck a car, total it.:bigsmile:

I like my honda's so a 1992 civic was my first car which had all the trimmings of a car from the fast and furious !!

1992 Saturn 4 door wasn't much to it but I sure had a lot of good times in that car.

I had a gray 1984 Dodge 600 that was almost impounded the first night I drove the thing because apparently it's illegal to drive through your asshole neighbor's yard. It was my grandad's car, then my dad's work car, then it was the car I listened to the Notre Dame pregame radio show on every Saturday. Fond memories of the car, and fonder memories of the bond shared with grandpa and dad who both "LOVED THEE NOTRE DAME!"


Picture in the link below, the only difference was that I had a 4 dr and it was gray, not black.
