99 Civic Si (Blue)... A year later, got jacked, stripped and found 3 days later in a orchard. Car was totaled, took money and bought a 99 Civic Si (Red), supercharged it, built it out fully, thing was a monster! That one never got jacked, kept it for 8 years and just sold it this month after putting it all back to stock (biggest mission) but was worth it!

I got the hand me down car. A 1990 Toyota Cressida Wagon. Called it the Dragon Wagon, cause we took that thing everywhere. It smelled like fish because my brother caught a Sturgeon on a fishing trip and came home late one night and left the fish in car. FML.

My first car was actually 2 cars. Owner wouldnt sell just one so I had to get the package deal. 69 camaro SS and 73 Datsun 510. This was in 1988. Wanted the camaro bad so I got the 510 but sold the camaro shortly after because I enjoyed the 510 so much.

1967 Chevrolet Biscayne 4-door with a 235 6 cyl and three on the tree, Faded Metallic Green/Aqua paint. Bought it for $500. I don't recall what I sold it for but it was long in the tooth...and this was spring of 1978. I was a HS Junior.
Right after that I bought my Dad's 1959 GMC 1/2 ton Pup. Cool truck and I still miss it.

1959 Volkswagen Karmen Ghia - bought it in 1968 for $100. All of 36HP (though dragging some of the dead ones at that point); lots of rust (Massachusetts). Ran it for about 18 months until engine finally died; by that time body and frame were so bad that it just had to be junked; got $20 for it at yard. Could have replaced gas pedal with an on/off switch, as had to run it flat out all the time to get anywhere. Collar that held distributor in place was worn out, so slowly vibrated out of time as you drove; when engine finally quit I would hop out, rotate distributor back, and drive some more. Kid brother painted huge picture of Snoopy in flying helmet on his doghouse on each door. Amazing what you will tolerate when you have no choice!!
