First vehicle?

[DNeinstadt]

Mine was a '84 'stang hatchback. It had a black bra, chrome wheels, and it was a 4 banger. MAN I thought I was cool. Went through 3 clutches in 2 years. Thought it was COOL to spin the tires.

2 knob radio WITH the booster!

<sigh> Those were the good ol' days.

Anyone? Bonus points if ya got pics. (Brian - show me that Cougar!)

WOW hehe my first was a 88 mitsubishi minica, its a japan only model, and yes i was in japan.

78 buick regal sport coupe also known as the first grand national/ ttype. baby blue with blue interior. same 231 v6 motor with a turbo non intercooled that didn't happen until 1986 halfway through gn production that year. i could only wish for one of those. my dad picked it up for 1,500 loved that car but blew the turbo out of it the first time i mashed it to the floor, RATZ.. other than that flawless inside and out only wish i could have kept it that way. anyhow sold it for what he paid not to shabby for it when we sold.

[DirtyM]

My first car was a 1990 Pontiac Grand Prix. V6, automatic. Nice car. Kept it for 3.5 years, then traded it in for my first Ranger. The car was worth only $500 on bluebook, but I got $2500 for it. Some goofy deal the dealership had going on and the salesperson put his foot in his mouth. Offered me $3,500 without seeing the car. Then he saw it and still manages $2,500. Pretty good deal if you ask me.

[Cobra-R]

77 Mercury Cougar XR7(351W). Still own the car today, it's away in storage. Some day I will drag it out and restore it. Lots of memories in that car, lol

Well, I am quite ashamed to say that my first car was an '87 Pontiac grand am, with a 4 banger, oh yeah! It was probably the gayest car of all time, but it got me to school and back, and I managed to loose my cherry in the backseet! I remember onetime on the way home from school, I was screwing around with some friends and had it totally floored! Well the gas pedal got stuck ALL the way down! We were going like 85-90 mph down a residential road in Coon Rapids, I wad to stand up the the break to get it to stop and turn it off!! then I got a '92 F150, it's been all blue ovals scince then!!

hay brian i think i know what you mean sorry i didn't get back to ya sooner. be cool.....

[DuelmsFinest]

My 1st car was a 1991 Cougar Xr-7 with the 5.0
Was a sweet car, wish i still had it. I sold it to buy a 87' Ranger so I could pull a small boat and haul my fishouse, well that was a big mistake. that pucker could barely pull it self. Truck was a pile. Then I sold that and got a 93' S-10 that I loved and never had ANY problems with. (I wanted a small truck)(Ad rangers blow ass quite frankly)

[SSHFTY1]

thanks for the tip on the rangers was going to buy one but heard what you said and bought an S-10 instead.. holy **** does this thing suck ass it can hardly start let alone pull itself. just kidding i didn't buy no screwed up chebby. anyhow the new colorado don't sell for crap either. guess the old 4.0 liter ranger still knows a thing or 2 about something. love a TCAP employee..

[DuelmsFinest]

My Ranger was a '87 (So it was older, but this was in the mid 90's when I had it). It was a 4 banger 5speed, that couldnt chirp the tires from the day I got it. I was the 2nd owner and bought it from a older guy (Farmer) when it had 24k on it. I dont know if '87 was a bad year for Ford paint and body but the thing started rusting like in 94' VERY badly and I always parked it inside and washed it twice a week. So I dont know. I am a Ford guy through and through, but had VERY good luck with my S-10 and wouldnt hesitate to buy another one if I was looking for a small truck again.

[silversnake]

My first was a 1964 Triumph Spitfire, then a 62 Cutlass F-85 Starfire with a 215" aluminum V8, then a 64 283 Chevelle, then a White K-Code 65 Mustang Convertible, then a 65 Austin Healy Sprite, then a 68 Camaro SS-350 vert, then a 65 SS Chevelle w/327-350HP, then the 69 Z-28, and then another 65 SS Chevelle, but with a built 400HP 327. All that in the first 3 years from my first car at age 18!!!

I think I was worse than Dan at buying everything in sight.

[Blackcoog]

My first was a silver 1998.5 SVT Contour. Bought it brand new when I turned 16, now 21, with money I had been saving up from drywall taping with my dad :). It was totalled 3 months later by some jackass who ran a red light and t-boned me going 70mph. I walked away without a scratch though so thats good. Ordered a black 1999 Cougar a month later and had to wait 3 months for it because of build issues Ford was having. Then in 2001 I bought another 99 Cougar with a blown engine and fixed it up and sold it to a friend for double what I paid. Then just last year I bought a 2002 Jaguar X-type with 9k miles on it for a steal. Still waiting on the title for that one...(long long story) :( This January I bought a 1998.5 SVT contour for Brandie which had a blown engine and replaced the engine with a 2002 3L Duratec Taurus engine.

[lightningboy00]

first car was a mustang, 1977 mustang II. put 1969 302 with 11:1 compression, 600 holley and hedman hedders in it. beautiful dark emerald green out side, green and white inside. i'd love to find one like it today, though i know i am in the minority when it comes to liking mustang II's.

[351 Capri]

Mine was an 83 ford escort, black in color, with a 4 speed, a friend of mine had an 82 escort with an auto, and i could go by him on the big end, lol. I had to dig deep but i did find a pic of it.:) I paid $800 for it and only had to replace one clutch while i owned it.

[Grenade]

Mine was a 1973 Ford gran Torino. 4-doors of fun. 400M C-6. I couldn't hurt that car if I tried. Who do you guys think will win that pesky 04 presidential Election this fall. I hope Daunte Culpepper doesn't get injured, and finishes his long career in Mn. I really like my 93 Cobra, but I hope to get something newer someday, Maybe that brand new Mach 1, or even a terminator, But maybe I'm dreaming. I think I'll just stick to my 93, it's paid off.

A big enough backseat to do pretty much anything you wanted.

Car would hold 4 people in the front seat, 5 in the rear seat, and 4 in the trunk when going to the local drive in on an "EVERYONE IN THE CAR FOR $5" night.
This was in Royal Oak Michigan (skirts of Detroit proper).

Just sold it about 4 years ago to a guy who just wanted the engine.
Told him you only get the engine if you take the car... apparently he wanted
the engine pretty bad.

[blacksunshine]

My first car was a 1973 Chevy caprice Convertable with the rare Cadillac 455-badging on the front fenders, 12 bolt rear, turbo 400 trans, yellow with green interior and a white top. Rear fender skirts, dog dish wheel caps, dual exhaust. That car would haul lots of ass-er I mean people. I could put 8 in the car, 4 in the trunk. Parents took an offer from some stranger to buy it from under me-I was 16- and then I replaced it with a Ford Tempo for a short time...

[tedly98]

1969 VW Beetle. bought it in 1998 in horrible condition. It was a great car to learn on when you are 16 yrs old. I think I replaced just about everything possable. rods, points, condencer, all brakes, speedo, carpet, headliner, exhaust, removed the engine once, and much more i just cant think about right now

HAND HELD VAPORIZER REVIEW (http://vaporizerinfo.com)

[crazyfoci]

74 Cadillac Coupe Deville could fit 8 people in that car and 3 in the trunk. 472 with a broken exhaust right after the mufflers. God I miss that car you would tap the gas and the whole car would rock to one side

[BeakerLuv22]

89 Chevy Blazer, the short body one with only two doors. Best car ever when you are in high school. You could fit a ton of people in that thing. Until the engine started to have problems. Plus, the exhaust had a huge hole in it, you could hear me coming from a mile away, hehheheheee. Chris remembers many a times it breaking down. Oh well still sold it for $2,500 after everything.

[Chryse]

:salute: I believe mine was a '79. White, with brown paneling and a roof rack. You could get a lot of friends in that car!

[LadyCobra]

1988 Cougar, Chocolate/Brown in color. Loveddddddddddd that car but alas after 4 short months it was gone because it had MAJOR issues. Dealer took it back and I got a 89 Burgundy Thunderbird in return.
