71 Ford Ranch Wagon. No it didn't have wood grain paneling but it did have a 351 Cleavland and a really big back seat.

Oh god... Back in grade 11 (1995) I had saved for about a year pumping gas at co-op and had enough cash to buy myself a beautiful 1986 Ford Tempo. Worst car I ever owned, but it sure did teach me to fix cars. I could probably rebuild one of those things from top to bottom if I had to.

First car I learned to drive in(12 years old... lol) was a '76 Honda Civic h/b, 4spd manual. It was a fun car, and my uncle actually had a couple of them. The actual first car I drove in full time was an '87 Toyota pick up. First winter I drove that car, I spun out on Memorial westbound near just over Barlow Trail. My buddy was in the car with me, and we nearly shatted ourselves.

My first car was a '57 Chev Bel Air. It was a four-door sedan, and the previous owner Mickey-Moused the three on the tree to a floor shift.

I loved that car..............much more than my second car, a '79 AMC Spirit.

86 Dodge Aries - that's right...a nice reliant automobile.

After that I owed 3 seperate yet identical Plymouth Sundances.

Classy.

The first vehichle I was pretty much given to drive was a rusty old 1966 Mecury Pick up truck my dad found for like $700. Being a new driver with the way that thing steered was well....interesting. The first real car I had though was a 1980 Mercury Capri with Fords wicked awesome 2.3 litre 4 cylinder and a 4 speed manual transmission. It was basically a $400 car with a $1000 stereo. I'll have to ask my brother what ever happened with that car as him and my dad must have swapped the engine out on that thing like 3 times. But that Stereo could shake the block!

Out of reading all these sorry ass vehicles I would put my bets on the Jeep TJ guy.

1979 Dodge Omni. It had a VW Rabbit engine in it. What a total POS that thing was... but I did learn a bit about cars (the hard way) from that experience. Paid a whopping $500 for it back in 1988. "Fill the oil and check the gas please".

My first car was given to me. A 1988 Chevy Corsica. Before it was done, I had to fix it. After I fixed it, before my parents signed the bill of sale....they gave it to my brother because he was moving to Vancouver. Broke down again after 2 weeks (Karma?....I did get it back later). My first car I drove was a 1988...Beretta. Same thing, 2 doors, better engine, and a manual. Did the job for...a few weeks. Then the first car I had for a while (and the first one of the getting laid) was a 1992 240sx. Leather on a lot of bare skin....yikes...but it worked.

1990 4 door, Silver, Automatic Sunbird.

Boy that car had some adventures. Wrote it off, friend and I were fixing my wind shield wipers because we wanted to head up to his cabin for the weekend, rain would suck on the high way without working wipers

So we got them fixed filled up the car and then went to back out of the garage, but I forgot to close my door

7 beer > door closing. Car was written off... the legend died.
