That's a good story! My first car was a 1965 Dodge Dart. That car was awesome. So much room but didn't look like a boat. And I could actually tell what everything was under the hood, not like now, where it looks like your going into an autopsy!

Here is the check for my very first car -- a brand new 1983 Renault Alliance -- Sky Blue, Sedan, Automatic. Paid in full -- tax, tags, title included.

My dad had to write the check and sign the contract because I wasn't 18 yet.
But I earned all the money working and saved it all -- also from 4-H and FFS projects...and permiums I won at fairs, etc.
I busted my butt and saved for 5 years to buy that car.
Driving it home was a great day. I was very proud.
Drove it to college a year later. 2 years after that, my college roommate totaled it...so I bought another one with the insurance money and more money I had saved.

all told I've had 6 cars and 11 trucks.

1973, I had a 1972 Dart. Loved it.

A 1966 Truimph Herald. It had a 50 hp four banger with the terrible Su carbs (the Brits in the group know of these). The big problem with this car was what was known as 'swing axles'. This was an independant rear suspension with tranverse spring. When the car was on a lift the wheels loooked like ther were broken. I replaced the rear U-joints constantly due to a poor design. I loved this car, though, and made many road trips. My dad inherited and drove it into the ground. It bacame a breeding place for numerous squirrels.

I was 5 when my dad got his first car a black morris minor 1000 with little left and right signal hands on the doors love it we had the biggest car in the neighbourhood.

I've never even driven a VW beetle, wanted one but never got round to it. My favourite car was a '67 mini, that was like driving a go kart. First actual car was a VW scirocco GT mk 1, 1978 bought in 1990. Motorbikes dude, simple, light, can fix them on the roadside. Can't sleep in them though...
