I have been meaning ask a question to all of you, but I am really busy reading and responding as well as I can to your posts, and then I forget.
Do you remember your first car? I was born 1952, and my first car was a 1952 VW Beetle. I love that car. IT had kilometer speedo, an 36 hp. I had purchase a fire extinguisher that looked like a can of shaving cream for about a dollar, for just in case.
Wouldn,t you know, but had fuel line leak, and I looked in my mirror and could see flames. I thought "O" know! But I remember I had a fire extinguisher. The fire was out of control, and just barely opened the engine hood, and sprayed under the hood. To my amazement the fire went out, and I opened the hood, and spayed it some more just to be sure the fire was out. I tightened the fuel fitting with tools I always carried, and fired it up (pun intended), and drove home.
A little bit of wiring replacement, some sanding and spray paint on the hood and she was as as before. I am glad I was an Eagle Scout and was prepared.
At least I did one thing right
My first car was a 1977 Ford Ltd., mint green - got 8 mpg. Was an awesome car.
197-something red Datsun station wagon. It had an 8-track tape player, which made me one of the cool kids, lol.
ikr! I had wall-to-wall carpet and mag wheels, too! '66 Dodge Sportsman van, paneled windows in back and a multi-color paint scheme--silver & blue.
@Skeezwazzle A love machine! ?
My first was a 1969 Ford Falcon Futura Sport Coupe. Not a bad little ride.

My first car was a Mercury Capri when the Capri looked the new version of the Mustang which no one liked. It was blue, and that is about all I remember about it.
I had a Capri, it lasted about two years. Once my son—2 at the time—pulled the steering wheel cover off when I ran inside Hardee’s for three minutes. I came out and he was standing in the drivers seat, screaming at the sparks flying out of the wires. I started home anyway, having no other choice...after a mile the horn started blowing continuously. The dirty looks and flying birds I got, lol! My dad had to run by and disconnect the horn.
