After that I owed 3 seperate yet identical Plymouth Sundances.

Classy.

You da man, Jiri! My first 2 cars were Sundances; the first a '90, red. I was rear-ended and that was it for that one.

Then a '91, which I got rid of because I wanted to learn to drive a stick.

My buddy was in the car with me, and we nearly shatted ourselves.

The car I learned to drive in was a buddies Dodge Superbee.

A '85 Ford Orion. This thing was beast. I had to fill the tank with gas just to get to other side of the gas station. It was made of steel i think because when some idiot smashed into me head on it has a minor dent and lost the front bumper while the other car was written off. The guy broke both his legs. I got a cheque.

1990 Honda Civic Hatchback Si, Black. I got it in 2000

Still parked outside my parents house... my brother is going to try and resurrect it in the next couple weeks.

1976 Chevette that my parents gave to me in 1984. It took about
2 months of driving it before I figured out why they GAVE it to me...
stupid car needing stupid repairs all the time.

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

Cool, my dream is to one day own an old re-stored 57 Bel Air. My first vehicle was a 1981 Datsun Crew Cab. It was a decent truck, but was stolen from my work parking lot. You could basically start the thing with anything flat. I once started it with a popsicle stick.

My first car was a 1961 Volkswagon Beetle . . . . . there was scarcely a place on it where there wasn't a dent or a rust spot.

My father, sending his young son out into the big wide world, showed me a trick for putting a blowtorch on the oil pan to get it started in the dead of winter, leaving out the part where I might have blown myself up.

Did a 360 on the QEII by Airdrie one time before hitting the ditch on a snowy day in that buggy . . . . the only time I've ever hit the ditch.

The heater essentially funnelled gas fumes into the cabin from the engine.

Ah, the salad days.

1967 Mustang, dad bought it for me in 86, It sat in the garage for 6 months before I could legally drive it (drove it up and down the alley)
Would pile 6-7 people in the car and think nothing of it. Heater sucked big time and in the winter you would have to scrap the windows from the inside time to time while driving.

[Bobblehead]

'76 Buick Regal. Had a lot of power, used a lot of gas, and the spedometer was in mph.

[Sample00]

my favourite vehicle, in fact I owned 5 of them before I got married, were the AMC Javelin/AMX. I owned a 69,70, 72, 73 and 74. All got redone and then resold. Great cars, never got the recognition they deserved as a true mucscle car of the era

They did have that great muscle car look to them. I remember one guy in my high school had a white one. It was a damn nice car.

[Ford Prefect]

1963 Ford Galaxie, two-door ... first car and first car I got laid in. In fact, the only good thing about that car was that the back seat area was huge. They certainly knew how to build back seats back then.

1992 Plymouth Laser RS



First car and first car to get busy in. Not exactly the roomiest car for that sort of activity, but we found a way. It was a fun car to drive, not the most reliable, and parts were expensive. But I had a stereo that could wake up the neighbours, so it was worth while. Had to sell it after the motor went.

Try getting busy in a manual VW Golf...

[TheyCallMeBruce]

First car I owned was a 87 Toyota Tercel station wagon. I drove that car to the ground. By the end of it's life, the car was virtually junked.

I should also add that the damn car is haunted.
