First car?

I didn't get my first car - of my own, no one else attached to it - until I divorced in 1991. I got an 81 toyota pickup that I abused for several years, and then gave to my dad when we moved to Iowa, and he killed it trying to help tow a Winnebago out of a ditch - can you say dead transmission?

Olds Super 88, 1960, free, gas was 25 cents a gallon a buck got us cruising all night.

1979 Chevy Chevette, am radio, no a/c, 4 on the floor, rear wheel drive, Can't remember the total price but loan payment was $87.60 per month with $1000. down.

1969 Chevy Impala. With a '66 283 engine, and glass pack cherry bomb muffler, purred like a kitten.

mine was a Fiat 500 (cinquecento), red, looked like a lady bug... I paid for it myself with my first few salaries (and $20 from grandpa)

A Datsun B2-10. It was so cute and great fun!

196? MG convertible with 2 6-volt batteries...unfortunately the guy I bought it from let it sit for a while without starting it and by the time I found 6-volt batteries, the engine was frozen. Bummer!! 1st one that was drivable was a 1978 Chevy Salon with t-tops that leaked.

1959 MGA roadster. yep had the 2 batteries one fell out driving down the road. Replaced it with a single 12V the damn thing was positive ground. If I was just by myself I could just stick my surfboard in the passenger compartment. I could swap out the engine in a couple of hours, but I never could get the hang of adjusting the SU carburetors, so even as a poor college student I had to take it into the MG Jaguar dealer. Somebody before I had the car had installed an exhaust cutout so you open up the exhaust. That made for some late night twisty road fun. I beat the hell out of that car. Onetime the rear bracket that supported the muffler broke which caused part of the exhaust pipe to rotate and press up against the floorboard. The MG had wooden floorboards. So I’m driving along and all of a sudden smoke is coming up from under the seat between my legs. I pull over, pull up the seat and see smoke and flames, my car is on fire. I am in the middle of nowhere, no water, no phone, no fire extinguisher. Only option was available, I had to use what liquid god gave me, I peed on my car. I had a lot of fun with that car.
