It was a 1984 Suzuki Swift in BRIGHT YELLOW. It had an electronic read out for all the dashboard instruments. I loved that car.
-
Mine was my dad's old 1968 Austin 1100 - sky blue in colour, and a real nice car. Sadly, I was in an accident and righted it off about five years after passing my test. The irony was that it had just become an 'antique' in car terms and some collector of Austin 1100's had not long before offered me £500 to take it off my hands. As it stood it just had to be scrapped!! :'(

1965 Buick Special with a something-or-other Wildcat v-8 and a two-speed automatic. It was in this car that I perfected the Jim Rockford reverse turn-around (I called it the "Y-reverse turn with a very short stem") Very tough on the tranny, but oh, my, it was fun. Of course, that was about 30 years ago!

Austin Sprite--the real thing w/ side curtains--no windows. Drove that sucker until it died. Great times, really great times in that car, once had five in it--top was down. The dash on my Cooper Mini reminded me of it--one of the reasons I bought the car.

Nice car

1973 Chevy Caprice, V8, 4 door sedan.
I called it the "green tank", and it could seat seven of us if need be.
-
1986 Honda Accord hatchback. It was a really nice car. We got it used from a family member when I was 14, but I couldn't drive it by myself until I turned 16 in 1995.
I think the first car I ever drove was my dad's 1981 Olds 88. At least on the street. I was 12 and he wanted me to drive home one day. When I was 14 I was driving my grandpa's 1980 Datsun stick shift pickup around town (with my dad of course even though I didn't have a license).
-
1992 Ford Thunderbird. Maroon Ext, Black Int, 3.8 V6. And the only reason i know that is because i spent quite a bit of time under the hood. replacing belts, alternator, fluids, etc etc etc. (mostly because of my own fault. ::) )
-
1969 Chevrolet 3/4 ton pickup with a 350 and 4 on the floor with granny low first gear. Still have it as a matter of fact. Just needs some TLC.
-
1974 chevy vega and not a well-made car. Id give anything to have my 1977 Malibu Classic (305 engine) back.
-
1973 Chevy Caprice, V8, 4 door sedan.

LOL, now you have me thinking about my 75 cougar. It would be six of us heading to the shore. You could watch the gas needle drop as we were flying down the highway ;D
-
1963 Buick Special with a 2 speed automatic and an aluminum V6. I had it 2 months, when I t-boned a 1960 Galaxie that pulled out of the Dairy Queen right in front of me. :Xo!
-
71 Valiant, blue with blue seats and blue carpet!
-
1967 Chevy Impala, 4 door.
-
Mine was a 1980 Chevy Monte Carlo - burgundy with gold pinstripes. Wire spoked hubcaps. Had a smokin' Pioneer stereo set up in it. That car got me through high school, college and law school. I wish I still had it. Better yet, wish I could go back in time and enjoy those days again. O0
-
1986 S-10 pickup extended cab. V-6 Had 2 -15" fosgates wedged behind the bench seat. Had just enough room in the back for 1 small adult an a coors party ball. If it wasn't to hot u could put a few in the bed(had a snugtop campershell) and go to the lake. ;D

1965 Mustang
Fun car, but it ate starters for breakfast.

Damn!! That is a classic O0

'70 Dodge Polara with a 400 under the hood. It was pretty ugly but very fast and heavy. I got in a head-on collision with it going 50 (not my fault) and didn't have a single scratch. I can't say the same for the 4 people in the other car, that went away in ambulances, but they were just shaken up.
-
Mine was a '61 Ford Falcon 4 door. Nothing on it but an AM radio. Sure brings back memories.
-
61 VW Beetle. I hated it. :Xo!
Brakes didn't work and I never knew in which direction it run.
Second 71 VW Beetle Convertible. I liked it very very much! :@`

1982 Honda Civic Hatchback. It was a total rust bucket, but ran like a top. I added fuzzy dice in the mirror and called her Rhonda the Honda. She purred like a kitty. A sick one.
-
1950 Ford Coupe (Bronze)
-
1977 Volvo 244. She was a beauty, but I was a careless youth, and ran that thing to its death.
-
1984 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme - that was a cool car. I got it in 1988, my senior year in high school. In 1990 it met an untimely death thanks to a 1971 Ford Grand Torino that ran a red light and turned it into a horse shoe.
-
61 VW Beetle.
Was it one without the gas gauge and the reserve tank ?
-
1964 Chevy Impala, black. Best car I ever had. Always me and girl then. Actually my first 7 cars were all Chevy Impala's. Since then they were a Buick Cutless, Eagle Premiere, Mercury Sable, Ford Taurus, and now Buick LaSable. And the same girl has been next to me in each.

My first car was the farm truck. It was a 1989 dodge. It was a dull grey color with visor lights and it went through gas like crazy, I think I got maybe 8-10 miles to the gallon. I loved that truck, I had a lift put on it to make it look cooler, it looked like a good hunting rig after that. The passenger side door was smashed thanks to a crazy horse show. We were driving kinda fast to get somewhere and the door didnt close all the way and we ended up hitting a concrete pole with it. The passenger side window wouldnt roll down and it didnt close all the way.
Since it didnt close all the way we had a few close experiences. One time we were going home after the fair and every one was tired. I was driving and had 3 other friends with me and one of them forgot something in the barn and they couldnt get the door open and they slammed on it and I tried to open it from the outside and it wasnt going to open so they ended up going out the drivers side door. We were all sqeezed in and headed home. As we were going around a sharp curve the passenger side door flew open. Luckily every one was buckled in, other wise it could have been pretty nasty. Last winter I was out driving in the woods and my brother was on a sled holding onto a rope that was tied to the trailer hitch and I was going pretty fast and I hit something so I got out to see what it was and I must have hit a rock or a fence post because one of the fuel lines (I know nothing about cars) or something was leaking so I just left it there. When I tried to start it up in the spring it wouldnt start so I sold it to a buddy for $600.
Now I have a ford explorer.

Red and black 1982 Dodge Charger 2.2. I loved that car and have been looking for one for years.
-
My first vehicle was a '77 Dodge van it was customized with a bed and fridge in the back, 4 big captains chairs.
Dam I miss that thing, it was the ultimate party mobile O0

1978 Camaro - I was the second owner, my grandma was the first. I still own it.

Tyler, that is my idea of a cool grandma!! The first new car I bought all by myself was a 76 Camaro and I wish I still had that one out all the cars and trucks I've had since.

It was in this car that I perfected the Jim Rockford reverse turn-around (I called it the "Y-reverse turn with a very short stem") Very tough on the tranny, but oh, my, it was fun. Of course, that was about 30 years ago!
The technical term for that is a "bootlegger". Very much fun and a great move for getting out of trouble.
My first car was a 1976 Dodge Dart Sport. I wish they had lemon laws back then. That thing was one problem after another and most times they overlapped. I had a chronic windshield leak which would fill the driver's side floorboard any time we had a heavy rain or went through a car wash. I took it back to the dealer 3 or 4 times and they kept telling me it was fixed "this time". The last time I took it in I went straight to the car wash when it was done and Niagra Falls came out from under the dashboard. I called the regional customer service rep and told him the problem and he said take the car back there right now, it will get fixed this time. In the past when I took it in I had to take the bus (no problem, I grew up in Chicago) but this time the service manager took the keys and directed me to a jet black and shiny 76 Dodge Charger.....yes, it had a HEMI! I did a hole shot out of their driveway onto Irving Park Road that the service guy must have loved. I had that car for a week and kicked myself for not buying a Charger in the first place.

when i was 17 i bought a 1971 pontiac ventura II. it was all original, paint and all, with 19,000 miles. still has the dealer's sticker on the deck lid! it looks just like a nova, except for the hood and grille. a nova front clip will actually bolt right on it! anyway, it has a 250 straight six, 1 bbl rochester carb, and a 2 speed powerglide! i'm 24, still own the car, but it sleeps in my brothers garage! i only take it to car shows and out for summer cruising. once i bought my 95 sonoma i put her in the garage
-
My first car was a 1988 Honda Accord EXi (Canadian Model) coupe It looked alot like the prelude. I loved that car! The only problems with Honda's are the body's fall apart, but the engines last forever.
