Your first car!
 
Hey everyone, I'm new to this forum, but definitely not new to the forum world. We had a thread like this in my Scion forum and it turned out pretty well. I searched through the threads and could not find one like this so with that being said. The subject is pretty simple.

Post a picture of your car, (preferably original) and the specs. Maybe add some pros/cons so your post isn't so bland. I understand that some of you...cough cough...old folks might not of had a camera back in day. :rofl2: Internet pictures will work as last resort. No second cars, or first dream cars! Please no bashing, this is all just for fun. Let's Begin!
Pictures are what keeps this thread moving!

If anyone could get bashed, it would be me! :D

2000 Chevy Malibu
Nickname: "Mailbooty"
Specs. 3.1 V6
Hp: N/a
Bulky body kit w/ 15" hubs :)
Pros: Um...only maibu with a body kit and an APR aluminium spoiler in the city haha
Cons: Almost everything else. Bad fuel pump, bad hoses, bad tint, bad gas mileage, bad fart can.

mine was a 1990 civic hatchback DX AT i got new.

i can't remember but i think it was a 90hp lawn mower engine with 13" painted steel RC airplane wheelset.

i remember i loved the car even though it was a shitty AT and friends were all jelly i got a new car. i drove it to near 100K miles or something in 6yrs and trade it in for $1500 or something.

My first car was a 93 Thunderbird, bought it off CL for 1,000 dollars. Was in ruff shape, I immediately put in some new parts like a radiator, fuel filter, spark plugs, and couple other things to get it running. Then a buddy of mine helped me get a exhaust on it. It was the v6 not the v8, but it still pulled like crazy. I just hated the last few months I had it because the tranny would slip a lot, ended up selling it to a guy and his wife who just had a baby. Really loved the car though, lot of good memories with it. :tup:

94 dodge dakota 3.9L V6 2wd Sport 4spd auto regular cab

never really did much with it, just replaced the radio and speakers. my father gave it to me for my 16th birthday (it wasn't worth much) and i had it for 4 years till i traded it back to him to buy his 99 ram at the time. i traded that truck in less than a year later on my frontier. the dakota is still sitting in his back yard and was driveable until recently. it needs some work now unfortunately. it's been a great truck other than 3 transmissions :shakes head:

i don't really have many pictures of my old truck but here's one. i have another one but i can't find it...

1992 Honda Prelude the lowest model you can get..

Pro: reliable as fuk
Con: was rusting in all the usual places, car was just old and beat up

I loved that car to death even though it was a piece of crap in most people's eyes. The way I saw it was that I worked two jobs to buy it at the age of 16 and earned it with my own sweat and blood.

nuTinmuch 01-16-2012 03:01 PM

1980 Chevy Camaro sport coupe with High Performance 3-speed transmission

I loved that car even though the rear suspension was so rusted out it looked like a low rider in the back. Bought it in 1994 and ran like a champ until I loaded up the trunk with groceries and bottomed out going up hill the gas tank litterally fell off the car and I dragged it about 100 feet by the fuel line the fact that I had just filled the tank probably saved my life. How I lived through the 90's is unknown really

looked exactly like this but was white

Sweet! I was hoping we had some members with some old American classics. One more year and that car will be considered an American Antique Car. It's kind of hard to believe...

79 rx-7... internet pic... mine looked the same back in '89

http://www.rotarytraderonline.com/li...ages/155_2.jpg

This car was minimalist high revving fun

I thought it was fast and 2nd gear was a kick, revving up to 8k if memory serves... I was heart-broken when then girlfriend smoked me in quarter mile in her VW whatever... I eventually wrapped her (the car) around a pedestrian crossing sign trying to dodge a station wagon that pulled out of a driveway while I was out looking for trouble and cruising 100+mph at 2am with a buddy

oh yeah, due to the wonders of google, you can all now see the pedestrian sign I once mangled... coincidentally in front of my old middle school

83 Nissan Sentra

Got it new after high school graduation as a reward for getting a full ride NROTC scholarship, and so I could have something dependable to go back and forth to school in. It was the cheapest new car on the market at the time, which is why my dad chose it. No radio, no air, etc, $4949, and thus began my love affair with Nissans.

washed it twice a week, waxed it every friday. Riken wheels, with fwd offset in front and rwd in back for some stagger, alphasonik 100w subwoofer amp with a 12" sub in the back and an aftermarket bose system with clarion headunit doing the rest of the music work (this was back in 85, before subs were popular!)
Had a test pipe from an 80 210, aftermarket front bumper from an 80 celica and a universal rear wing.

It still looked showroom new when it was stolen 4 years and 125000 miles after I got it.

1991 Range Rover

Don't remember a lot of this car. It was supposed to be my hand-me-down first car, but it fell apart a few days into me driving it. Was replaced by a newer model Range Rover, that still broke all the time. But I LOVED this car, and when I drove it, I was fearless :stirthepot:
